Error android.graphics.Canvas.throwIfRecycled when overlaying bitmaps
android, bitmap, canvas, nullpointerexception
Solution
I had the same trowIfRecycled exception while trying to draw a bitmap to a canvas. I was trying to draw in a thread I started, before the program got around to initializing the bitmap. So in my case: bitmap was null and I had to look for a better place to do the initializing.
Problem
Im trying to overlay images on a canvas using the following method: ``` private Bitmap overlay(Bitmap bmp1, Bitmap bmp2) { bmOverlay = Bitmap.createBitmap(70, 70, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565); canvas = new Canvas(bmOverlay); canvas.drawBitmap(bmp1, 0, 0, null); //line 179 canvas.drawBitmap(bmp2, 0, 0, null); return bmOverlay; } ``` However, my app keeps crashing and the log reads: java.lang.NullPointerException at android.graphics.Canvas.throwIfRecycled(Canvas.java:954) at android.graphics.Canvas.drawBitmap(Canvas.java:980) at com.MyApp.overlay(MyApp.java:179) Can anyone help?
