Today, While going though Android code I found this, I hope it will help someone else.
private Bitmap framePhoto(Bitmap photo) { final Resources r = getResources(); final Drawable frame = r.getDrawable(com.android.internal.R.drawable.quickcontact_badge); final int width = r.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.contact_shortcut_frame_width); final int height = r.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.contact_shortcut_frame_height); frame.setBounds(0, 0, width, height); final Rect padding = new Rect(); frame.getPadding(padding); final Rect source = new Rect(0, 0, photo.getWidth(), photo.getHeight()); final Rect destination = new Rect(padding.left, padding.top, width - padding.right, height - padding.bottom); final int d = Math.max(width, height); final Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(d, d, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); final Canvas c = new Canvas(b); c.translate((d - width) / 2.0f, (d - height) / 2.0f); frame.draw(c); c.drawBitmap(photo, source, destination, new Paint(Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG)); return b; }
