Once you get the bitmap, you can copy only a part of it like this:

 private Bitmap copyBitmap(Bitmap src){

     //Copy the whole bitmap
     //Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(src);

     //Copy the center part only
     int w = src.getWidth();
     int h = src.getHeight();
     Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(src, w/4, h/4, w/2, h/2);

     return newBitmap;
    }
