Draw an image using Bitmap class object in android

This is a sample program to draw an image using Bitmap class object.
Underlying Algorithm:
Basic description of algorithm in step by step form:
1.) Create a Project DrawBitmap.
2.) To draw an image we will create a inner class BitmapView which will extends View :

class BitmapView extends View 

{

    public BitmapView(Context context) {

            super(context);

    }

    @Override

    public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.five);

        canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);

        canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, 10, 10, null);

    }

}

3.) Put an image in res/drawable
4.) Run the application.
Steps to Create:
1.) Open Eclipse. Use the New Project Wizard and select Android Project Give the respective project name i.e. DrawBitmap. Enter following information:
Project name: DrawBitmap
Build Target: Android 2.3
Application name: DrawBitmap
Package name: com.sample.DrawBitmap
Create Activity: DrawBitmap

On Clicking Finish DrawBitmap code structure is generated with the necessary Android Packages being imported along with DrawBitmap.java. DrawBitmap class will look like following:

package com.sample.DrawBitmap;
import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Context;

import android.graphics.Bitmap;

import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;

import android.graphics.Canvas;

import android.graphics.Color;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.view.View;

import android.view.Window;

public class DrawBitmap extends Activity {

    @Override

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(new BitmapView(this));

    }

    class BitmapView extends View {

        public BitmapView(Context context) {

            super(context);

        }

        @Override

        public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

            Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.five);

            canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);

            canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, 10, 10, null);

        }

    }

}
