How can I get an image to the canvas in order to draw on that image? The good way to draw a Drawable on a canvas is not decoding it yourself but leaving it to the system to do so: Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.foobar, null); d.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom); d.draw(canvas); This will work with all kinds of drawables, not only bitmaps. And it also means that you can re-use that same drawable again if only the size changes. You need to load your image as bitmap: Resources res = getResources(); Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, R.drawable.your_image);

Is it possible to set the margin or padding for the image which we added with the android:drawableLeft ?

I know that I need to override onDraw() with some logic that will decide how many squares to color in. This is trivial. What I don't know how to do is get these squares in the first place. How can I replace the default drawable, so when I add my custom bar in the layout I can see something like my image? try this custom Drawable: class ProgressDrawable extends Drawable { private static final int NUM_RECTS = 10;
