title: Android Peformance Optimization - How to draw a cached bitmap back to a textview
body: <p>Basically, I want to cache a frequently drawn text view to increase the performance of my application.</p>
  
  <p>So, on first-time draw, I cached the text view into a bitmap type buffer, using the methodology in these posts - <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3033107/get-bitmap-from-textview-in-android">get bitmap from textview in android</a> &amp; <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2801116/converting-a-view-to-bitmap-without-displaying-it-in-android?lq=1">Converting a view to Bitmap without displaying it in Android?</a></p>
  
  <p>Now, on subsequent draw requests, I want to draw the saved bitmap buffer back to a text view.</p>
  
  <p>But, I am not able to find specimen code for that. There is a lot of discussion on SO for saving a bitmap from the textview, but not much regarding drawing the bitmap back to text view !
  Please help me if anybody has worked in this area before.</p>
