Date: 2017feb6 OS: Android Language: Java Q. Android: Can a bitmap be a brush? A. No. There is no Brush class in Android. There is Paint but it just specifies details of how drawing is done. If you want to repeatedly use a bitmap use drawpBitmap:

float left = 100; float top = 100; canvas.drawBitmap(mybitmap, left, top, mypaint); left += 20; top += 20; canvas.drawBitmap(mybitmap, left, top, mypaint); left += 20; top += 20; canvas.drawBitmap(mybitmap, left, top, mypaint);
