Is There a Way to Apply a Bitmap to an Entire View?

There's two ways of doing that. If you have an hardware backed bit map from one of these things, that's kind of straightforward. Surface views are a bit of a tricky beast because the surface isn't actually rendered by the application. So i can deform my view, apply my own custom filter to any view, except sofas ebicasofaswas will. But yes, you do have the ability to do that without ever having to read back to a bit map. It stays fully on the g p s memory.
