How to draw hexagons in android?

Question

I used the hexagon code in this tutorial and created a createHex class (Should I post the code?). The linked web page has used the following code to actually draw the hexago

Try this or download demo example.

public static Bitmap getHexagonalCroppedBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, int radius) {
        Bitmap finalBitmap;
        if (bitmap.getWidth() != radius || bitmap.getHeight() != radius)
            finalBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, radius, radius,
                    false);
        else
            finalBitmap = bitmap;
        Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(finalBitmap.getWidth(),
                finalBitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);

        Paint paint = new Paint();
        final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, finalBitmap.getWidth(),
                finalBitmap.getHeight());

        Point point1_draw = new Point(75, 0);
        Point point2_draw = new Point(0, 50);
        Point point3_draw = new Point(0, 100);
        Point point4_draw = new Point(75, 150);
        Point point5_draw = new Point(150, 100);
        Point point6_draw = new Point(150, 50);

        Path path = new Path();
        path.moveTo(point1_draw.x, point1_draw.y);
        path.lineTo(point2_draw.x, point2_draw.y);
        path.lineTo(point3_draw.x, point3_draw.y);
        path.lineTo(point4_draw.x, point4_draw.y);
        path.lineTo(point5_draw.x, point5_draw.y);
        path.lineTo(point6_draw.x, point6_draw.y);

        path.close();
        canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
        paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#BAB399"));
        canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
        paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));
        canvas.drawBitmap(finalBitmap, rect, rect, paint);

        return output;
    }

pass your image to be cropped to hexagon as bitmap to this function

Bitmap myhexagon = getHexagonalCroppedBitmap(Myimage, yourHexagonalRadius);
