Add image to Canvas to Sketch on and Save

[GitHubDroid]

How could I go about adding an image from a specific location on sdcard to the canvas and use that as the background to sketch on and be able to save the image with background and markups to a specified folder?

Would this be possible ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply - I haven't been on here in awhile. I haven't yet researched how to add that functionality but it's definitely possible. If I have time to look through the Android Reference pages in detail (http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html) but I'll let you know what I find.

I did look around quickly and it looks like if you're able to add a method in DrawView for importing an image:

public MyImageView(Context context) {
this(context, null, 0);
mImage = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.imagename);
}

Then in the OnDraw method (where the background currently defaults to white) you can draw the image on the canvas:

mImage.draw(canvas);

Of course you'll have to link that to a menu item in MainActivity that fires off the image retrieval. I'm not sure if there's more involved than that but more details and a full implementation are here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5743328/image-in-canvas-with-touch-events

I'll try to get to implementing this soon but if you beat me to it let me know!
