android - Can you draw a google static map to a canvas after you download it?

Question

I am using the following class to download a specific map and i'd like to draw it to a canvas with other bitmaps but when I do it only the map doesn't show up. I know the map is downloading, do I have to make it mutable, i'm not completely sure what's going on here.

 class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>
    {
    File mediaFile = new File(MenuScreen.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
            "IMG_"+ MenuScreen.timeStamp + ".png");
    File mediaFile1 = new File(MenuScreen.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
            "IMG_"+ MenuScreen.timeStamp + "1" + ".png");
    File mediaFile2 = new File(MenuScreen.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator +
            "IMG_"+ MenuScreen.timeStamp + "2" + ".png");
    Bitmap bitmap;
          protected void onPreExecute()
          {           super.onPreExecute();
                    //display progressdialog.
          } 

           protected Void doInBackground(Void ...params)
          {  





            bitmap = getGoogleMapThumbnail(MainActivity.latlng.latitude,MainActivity.latlng.longitude);

          FileOutputStream outStream;
            try {
                outStream = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile2);
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outStream);
                outStream.flush();
                outStream.close();
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

Answer 1

As i mentioned in comments, You could actually reuse the bitmap.

You could also draw on canvas directly for date and time since the datetime bitmap will consume 160000 bytes i.e 156kb.

I have not tested the code. This is just a suggestion.

class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Bitmap> {
    File mediaFile = new File(MenuScreen.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_" + MenuScreen.timeStamp + ".png");
    File mediaFile1 = new File(MenuScreen.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_" + MenuScreen.timeStamp + "1" + ".png");
    //File mediaFile2 = new File(MenuScreen.mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator + "IMG_" + MenuScreen.timeStamp + "2" + ".png");
    Bitmap mapBitmap;

    protected void onPreExecute() {
        super.onPreExecute();
        // display progressdialog.
    }

    protected Bitmap doInBackground(Void... params) {
        mapBitmap = getGoogleMapThumbnail(MainActivity.latlng.latitude, MainActivity.latlng.longitude);
        // You could reuse this bitmap. Rather than saving and loading again
        return mapBitmap;
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap map) {
        super.onPostExecute(map);

        Bitmap finished;

        String path = mediaFile1.getAbsolutePath();

        Bitmap photo = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path);

        Paint into = new Paint();

        Paint background = new Paint();
        background.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        background.setStyle(Style.FILL);

        into.setFilterBitmap(true);

        into.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        into.setTextSize(25);
        into.setUnderlineText(true);
        into.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);

        // Bitmap datetime = Bitmap.createBitmap(200, 200,
        // Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        //
        // Canvas can = new Canvas(datetime);
        // can.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
        // can.drawText(MainActivity.curDate, 0, 35, into);
        // can.drawText(MainActivity.curTime, 0, 70, into);

        Rect rect = new Rect();

        if (photo.getWidth() > photo.getHeight()) {

            finished = Bitmap.createBitmap(480, 720, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

            Canvas ca = new Canvas(finished);
            ca.drawColor(Color.WHITE);

            ca.drawBitmap(map, 0, 0, null);

            rect.set(0, 0, 200, 200);
            ca.drawRect(rect, background);
            ca.drawText(MainActivity.curDate, 0, 35, into);
            ca.drawText(MainActivity.curTime, 0, 70, into);

            ca.drawBitmap(photo, 0, 400, null);
        }
        else {

            finished = Bitmap.createBitmap(720, 480, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

            Canvas ca = new Canvas(finished);
            ca.drawColor(Color.WHITE);

            ca.drawBitmap(map, 320, 0, null);

            ca.save();

            ca.translate(320, 0);
            rect.set(0, 0, 200, 200);
            ca.drawRect(rect, background);
            ca.drawText(MainActivity.curDate, 0, 35, into);
            ca.drawText(MainActivity.curTime, 0, 70, into);

            ca.restore();

            ca.drawBitmap(photo, 0, 0, null);
        }

        mediaFile1.delete();
