A Picture records drawing calls (via the canvas returned by beginRecording)
and can then play them back into Canvas (via Picture#draw(Canvas)
or
Canvas#drawPicture(Picture)
).

Remarks
A Picture records drawing calls (via the canvas returned by beginRecording) and can then play them back into Canvas (via Picture#draw(Canvas)
or Canvas#drawPicture(Picture)
).For most content (e.g. text, lines, rectangles), drawing a sequence from a picture can be faster than the equivalent API calls, since the picture performs its playback without incurring any method-call overhead.
<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> Prior to API level 23 a picture cannot be replayed on a hardware accelerated canvas.</p>

Constructors
Picture() |
Creates an empty picture that is ready to record. |
Picture(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership) |
A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime. |
Picture(Picture) |
Create a picture by making a copy of what has already been recorded in src. |
Properties
Class |
Returns the runtime class of this |
Handle |
The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object) |
Height |
Get the height of the picture as passed to beginRecording. |
JniIdentityHashCode | (Inherited from Object) |
JniPeerMembers | |
PeerReference | (Inherited from Object) |
ThresholdClass |
This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. |
ThresholdType |
This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code. |
Width |
Get the width of the picture as passed to beginRecording. |
Methods
BeginRecording(Int32, Int32) |
To record a picture, call beginRecording() and then draw into the Canvas that is returned. |
Clone() |
Creates and returns a copy of this object. (Inherited from Object) |
CreateFromStream(Stream) |
Obsolete.
Create a new picture (already recorded) from the data in the stream. |
CreateFromStreamAsync(Stream) | |
Dispose() | (Inherited from Object) |
Dispose(Boolean) | (Inherited from Object) |
Draw(Canvas) |
Draw this picture on the canvas. |
EndRecording() |
Call endRecording when the picture is built. |
Equals(Object) |
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. (Inherited from Object) |
GetHashCode() |
Returns a hash code value for the object. (Inherited from Object) |
JavaFinalize() |
Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. (Inherited from Object) |
Notify() |
Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. (Inherited from Object) |
NotifyAll() |
Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. (Inherited from Object) |
RequiresHardwareAcceleration() |
Indicates whether or not this Picture contains recorded commands that only work when drawn to a hardware-accelerated canvas. |
SetHandle(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership) |
Sets the Handle property. (Inherited from Object) |
ToArray<T>() | (Inherited from Object) |
ToString() |
Returns a string representation of the object. (Inherited from Object) |
UnregisterFromRuntime() | (Inherited from Object) |
Wait() |
Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>. (Inherited from Object) |
Wait(Int64, Int32) |
Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object) |
Wait(Int64) |
Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being <em>notified</em> or <em>interrupted</em>, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed. (Inherited from Object) |
WriteToStream(Stream) |
Obsolete.
Write the picture contents to a stream. |
WriteToStreamAsync(Stream) |
