Answer 1

You have to convert your workingBitmap to Mutable Bitmap for drawing on Canvas. (Note: this method does not help save memory, it will use extra memory)

Bitmap workingBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(chosenFrame);
Bitmap mutableBitmap = workingBitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(mutableBitmap);

This answer helps don't waste memory Convert immutable bitmap to a mutable bitmap
