title: Print Bitmaps onto other bitmap android
body: <p>I am trying to make my game a bit easier on the phone, so I am trying to figure out a way to print a bunch of bitmaps onto another big one, so I can just do it once, rather than every time the screen is redrawn. So, is there any way to do this? I know there is a way to print everything that is printed to the canvas to a bitmap, but I can't seem to get that to work. If that is the only way can someone explain how to do that? Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>Here is something I tried, but it didn't work out so well</p>
  
  <pre><code>Bitmap background; 
  Canvas canvas; 
  
  private void methodName() {
      background = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, someKindOfConfigThing); 
      canvas = new Canvas(background);
      canvas.drawBitmap(blahblah);
  }
  </code></pre>
