Android: creating a Bitmap with SurfaceView content

Question

I\'m afraid to already have the unfortunate answer to this question but just in case... I\'m using a SurfaceView to do some image processing with bitmaps (lights and colors

Answer 1

Can you draw your SurfaceView onto a Canvas that's backed by a Bitmap?

    // be sure to call the createBitmap that returns a mutable Bitmap
    Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(100, 100, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); 
    Canvas c = new Canvas(b);
    yourSurfaceView.draw(c);
