I am drawing on a SurfaceView canvas. To make it look roughly the same on various screen densities I use canvas.scale(...) with DisplayMetrics.density as parameters.
This works great overall. My drawn primitives and text look exactly right across all screen sizes. But if I try to draw a bitmap on this scaled canvas it always looks bad, as it gets scaled too. What I want to do is to create a pre- scaled bitmap (which I can very easily do) and then I want to draw it on this scaled canvas as is, without another scaling. The only way I am able to achieve this is by canvas.save(), setting up a new identity matrix, drawing, then canvas.restore(). Is it really the only way to do it? It looks to me like I'm missing something and there is got to be a better way. Thanks! Andrew. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
