i have a master bitmap that i need to draw on it other bitmaps.
the master bitmap has some semi-transparent pixels (pixels with variant values for the alpha channel) , so that the other bitmaps that are drawn on it should be merged with it instead of overriding the colors completely.
the question
how can i set the canvas to draw the bitmaps on the master bitmap with respect to the semi-transparent pixels ?
note: the alpha is not for the whole bitmap/s . it's per pixel.
Canvas.setXfermode(Xfermode xfermode)
. There are a number of Xfermode
s you can choose.
public void putOver(Bitmap master, Bitmap alphaBitmap){
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(matter);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setXferMode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.DST_OVER));
canvas.drawBitmap(left, top, left+alphaBitmap.width, left+alphaBitmap.height, paint);
}
public Bitmap PutoverChange(Bitmap all, Bitmap scaledBorder) {
Paint paint = new Paint();
final int width = change.getWidth();
final int height = change.getHeight();
patt = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(change, width, height, true);
Bitmap mutableBitmap = patt.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(mutableBitmap);
scaledBorder = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(border, width, height, true);
paint.setAlpha(100);
canvas.drawBitmap(scaledBorder, 0, 0, paint);
return mutableBitmap;
}
here the transparency is 100. you can modify it to 50 so it becomes semi transparent.
