Android, fastest way to draw a bitmap to canvas

Viewed 28392

Just wondering what the fastest way is to draw a bitmap to canvas?

Currently I have a bitmap (and canvas for drawing) which i use to double buffer drawing calls, and then when i draw to canvas have a scrolling effect by applying a 1px canvas translation. This alone will reduce the framerate from 60+ FPS to ~40, quite a hit. Im not using surfaceView (or GLSurfaceView) at the moment but just wondering if im missing anything that would improve the speed. onDraw() code below

@Override
    public void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
    {
        //update fps text
        mFpsTracker.frameTouch();

        if(mBufferedBitmap == null)
        {
            mBufferedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(getWidth(), getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
            mBufferedCanvas = new Canvas(mBufferedBitmap);
        }

        paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        mBufferedCanvas.drawLine(0, getHeight(), getWidth(), getHeight(), paint);
        mBufferedCanvas.translate(0, -1);


    canvas.drawBitmap(mBufferedBitmap, 0, 0, null); 

    //draw fps
    mTextPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
    canvas.drawText(mFpsTracker.getFPSString(), 40, 40, mTextPaint);


    invalidate();       
}
