How to add Frames to images in Android

Question

I am new in Android Application development, I want to create one application where I can add borders or frames to the images in the gallery or to a new picture taken from camera, I have searched through some blogs but I didn't get the answer.

Could anyone tell me the idea or any concept about how to do that application?

After you get the bitmap from the camera or from the gallery (plenty of docs on this) you should add an overlay using a transparent bitmap.

These links should help you (stackoverflow):

Also, some useful information when dealing with bitmaps:
