tag should specify a target API level Warning

Try this source code:

Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.my_image)
.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
Canvas c = new Canvas(myBitmap);
// etc.  ....... 

Issue: Immutable bitmap passed to Canvas constructor
Solution: Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.my_image)
.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
