Question

I am making an app in which i have to draw image in canvas and then SAVE that image in shared preference and then show in next screen .Any help will be appreciated

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(new DrawingPanel(this));
    mPaint = new Paint();
    mPaint.setDither(true);


//    mPaint.setColor(0xFF FF FF FF);
    System.out.println("hello1");
    mPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    System.out.println("hello2");

    mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    mPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
    mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
    mPaint.setStrokeWidth(3);


}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.game_menu, menu);
    return true;
}
@SuppressWarnings("null")
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle item selection
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
        case R.id.create_new: // **ON THIS CLICK I WANT TO SAVE IMAGE**

            System.out.println("hii");
        //  name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
            System.out.println("hii1");
            date1 = currentTimeString;
            System.out.println("hii2");
        //  cur = context.getContentResolver().query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
            System.out.println("hii3");
        //  File f1=new File("/sdcard/" + date1 + ".png");
            System.out.println("hii4");

          //  FileSave fs = null;
        //  fs.Save(f1);
            // Add a new record without the bitmap, but with the values just set.
            // insert() returns the URI of the new record.
        //  Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

            // Now get a handle to the file for that record, and save the data into it.

i want to save this image in shared preference and open in next screen with thumbnail

Answer 1

If you have drawing cache enabled on your SurfaceView, you can get the last cached Bitmap with the getDrawingCache() method of View.

The Bitmap object implements Parcelable; that means you can directly put it into the Intent that is launching your next Activity with Intent.putExtra(key, bitmap).
