Courtesy : Draw text/Image on another Image in Android
Drawing images over each other is fairly simple with Canvas. Canvas basically acts as the drawing board to draw text/Image. You just need to construct a canvas with the first Image and then draw the second Image at the center as shown below
/* This ImageOne will be used as the canvas to draw an another image over it. Hence we make it mutable using the copy API
as shown below
*/
Bitmap imageOne = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.imageOne).copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888,true);
// Decoding the image two resource into a Bitmap
Bitmap imageTwo= BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.imageTwo);
// Here we construct the canvas with the specified bitmap to draw onto
Canvas canvas=new Canvas(imageOne);
/*Here we draw the image two on the canvas using the drawBitmap API.
drawBitmap takes in four parameters
1 . The Bitmap to draw
2. X co-ordinate to draw from
3. Y co ordinate to draw from
4. Paint object to define style
*/
canvas.drawBitmap(imageTwo,(imageOne.getWidth())/2,(imageOne.getHeight())/2,new Paint());
imageView.setImageBitmap(imageOne);
