Merge two or more images in android by using Canvas its simple to merge image by using below code,
first create bitmap for particular image which you want to merge it.
get X and Y axis position for which area you want to merge images.
mComboImage = new Canvas(mBackground);
mComboImage.drawBitmap(c, x-axis position in f, y-axis position in f, null);
mComboImage.drawBitmap(c, 0f, 0f, null);
mComboImage.drawBitmap(s, 200f, 200f, null);
mBitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(mBackground);
Bitmap mNewSaving = ((BitmapDrawable)mBitmapDrawable).getBitmap();
set this new bitmap in imageview.
imageView.setImageBitmap(mNewSaving);
Here in this method two image bitmap combine in one bitmap which return bitmap of new merge image.Also save this image on sdcard.As below code
public Bitmap combineImages(Bitmap c, Bitmap s) {
Bitmap cs = null;
int width, height = 0;
if(c.getWidth() > s.getWidth()) {
width = c.getWidth();
height = c.getHeight() + s.getHeight();
} else {
width = s.getWidth();
height = c.getHeight() + s.getHeight();
}
cs = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas comboImage = new Canvas(cs);
comboImage.drawBitmap(c, new Matrix(), null);
comboImage.drawBitmap(s, new Matrix(), null);
// this is an extra bit I added, just incase you want to save the new image somewhere and then return the location
/*String tmpImg = String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".png";
OutputStream os = null;
try {
os = new FileOutputStream(loc + tmpImg);
cs.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, os);
} catch(IOException e) {
Log.e("combineImages", "problem combining images", e);
}*/
return cs;
}
}
