title: android paint using bitmaps as a paint object
body: <p>I am building a drawing app and would like to create custom brushes.  I assumed there was a way to set your <code>android.graphics.Paint</code> object to use a bitmap along the path instead of a color, but this doesn't seem to be the case..  I suppose i could just save the path and draw bitmaps to it, but that seems excessive..  before i start trying to come up with a custom solution i was wondering if anyone has already tackled this.  The idea is lets say i had a 'star' icon, id like to be able to draw a line of stars based on stroke width to the path the user has drawn..</p>
  
  <p>Psuedo code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>drawPath = new Path();
  drawPaint = new Paint();
  //drawPaint.setColor(paintColor);
  drawPaint.setBitmap(bitmap); /// &lt;-- wouldn't that be sweet
  </code></pre>
