Water reflection effect on bitmap

I trying to achieve water reflection effect on bitmap. As I saw some apps called water reflection. I know how to do the reflection of the image but the wave on the image is what making me confused on how it is done.
see this image for example
I did many apps on bitmap manipulation but this is quite hard to achieve.
So any idea on where to start. Just an idea to start can be helpful.

For any one needed, I tried some simple tricks to get as closer as water reflection effect. It is not great but it looks fine to me.
I used two methods
Bitmap reflection method (give bitmap as a parameter)
public static Bitmap Reflection(Bitmap imageBitmap) {
int width = imageBitmap.getWidth();
int height = imageBitmap.getHeight();
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.preScale(1, -1);
Bitmap reflectionImage = Bitmap.createBitmap(imageBitmap, 0,
0, width, height , matrix, false);
Bitmap newbit=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(reflectionImage, reflectionImage.getWidth()/8, reflectionImage.getHeight()/8, true);
Bitmap newbit1=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(newbit, newbit.getWidth()*8, newbit.getHeight()*8, true);
Bitmap scalednew=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(newbit1, width, height-(height/4), true);
Bitmap newscaledone=overlay(scalednew);
reflectionImage=newscaledone;
Bitmap reflectedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width,
(height + height), Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(reflectedBitmap);
canvas.drawBitmap(imageBitmap, 0, 0, null);
Paint defaultPaint = new Paint();
canvas.drawRect(0, height, width, height, defaultPaint);
canvas.drawBitmap(reflectionImage, 0, height , null);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.DST_IN));
canvas.drawRect(0, height, width, reflectedBitmap.getHeight()
, paint);
return reflectedBitmap;
}
Bitmap overlay method. I am taking a wave bitmap with some opacity to overlay on the reflected image. So that it may look like water.
Bitmap wavebitmap=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.waves1);
private static Bitmap overlay( Bitmap bmp2) {
Bitmap bmp1=WaterReflectionMainActivity.wavebitmap;
Bitmap bmp1new =Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp1, bmp2.getWidth(), bmp2.getHeight(), true);
Bitmap bmOverlay = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp1new.getWidth(), bmp1new.getHeight(), bmp1new.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmOverlay);
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp2, new Matrix(), null);
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp1new, new Matrix(), null);
return bmOverlay;
}
Well this is my version of water effect, I know this looks shit.
So if anyone still got some better effect please share your code .
thank you

Tutorial related to this: http://www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook34/page_4.htm
Also have a read at this question: Add water effect on bitmap android.
Have a read at both of them, i hope you will get an idea from this
You may also want to look through these: 1, 2, 3

This is just an idea but basically, what you need is to apply a deformation on the bottom part of the image, meaning that for each pixel on the bottom half, you compute a position to get it's color from the top picture.
Here's a pseudo code to give you a hint :
for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
for (int y = 0; y < img.height; y++) {
// Compute a position on the original image
// tweak the values heres to get the effect you want
sourceX = x + (int) (cos(10000.0 / y) * 20);
sourceY = img.height - y - 1 +(int)( sin(y* 0.5) * 20);
// Maybe check the range of sourceX and source Y
int color = img.getColor(sourceX, sourceY)
outptut.setColor(x, y + img.height, color);
}
}

you can achieve this by masking may this code will help you

android noise effect on bitmap

Android clip canvas.drawBitmap

I am new to Android and I have two images one is an empty image and the other is a full image to represent a progress bar.
How can I only draw a percentage of the full image using canvas.drawBitmap?
I would prefer not to resize the bitmap image each time.

you can use 2 Rects, the source Rect and the destination Rect to only draw a piece
//example
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
R.drawable.backbutton);
Rect source = new Rect(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
Rect bitmapRect = new Rect(0, 0, canvasWidth -200,50);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, source, bitmapRect, null);
a Rect is a rectangle like this
new Rect(topleftx,toplefty,bottomrightx,bottomrighty);

Android: Positioning 2 bitmaps on a Canvas

I take picture and obtain a Bitmap (bitmap), when I take the picture there is an image I would like to stay on the top (bitmao2). So to save the picture with the image on it I use a canvas. I would like to position bitmap2 on bitmap exactly how it is positioned when I take the picture.
Here is what I do
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data,0,data.length);
int width=bitmap.getWidth();
int height=bitmap.getHeight();
Bitmap bitmap2 = GameActivity.decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(gameactivity.getResources(), R.drawable.fire16,width1 );
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postRotate(90);
bitmap=Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap,0,0,width,height,matrix,true);
ImageView image = (ImageView) gameactivity.findViewById(R.id.imageView4);
LayoutParams layout = (LayoutParams) image.getLayoutParams();
int margin = layout.topMargin;
Bitmap cs = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(cs);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0f, 0f, null);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap2,0,margin, null);
(I rotate the image because it is in landscape mode even if I take it in portrait mode so I correct that)
The problem is even if dimensions Canvas = dimensions of bitmap, I don't see the entire image after my code is executed, it is a bit cropped and of course bitmap2 is not where it should be.
Maybe I should take the dimensions of the screen instead??

You can use drawBitmap (Bitmap bitmap, Rect src, Rect dst, Paint paint) for drawing bitmaps:
Rect src = new Rect(0, 0, bitmap2.getWidth(), bitmap2.getHeight());
Rect dst = new Rect(0, 0, width, height);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap2, src, dst, null);
Also if you rotating your image than width and height will be swapped here:
bitmap=Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap,0,0,width,height,matrix,true);

Rotating Bitmap Not Rotating

I have tried several hours to rotate a bitmap with no success. I have read numerous articles about this subject on this web site and it seems the prefered solution involves creating a temporary canvas. Well I did this and I still do not see a roated bitmap.
My bitmap is a 40x40 blue square and I am trying to rotate it 45 degrees. Thats not asking for much is it? When the code runs, the bitmap that appears on the screen is the non-rotated original. ( I have also tried a translate with no success as well)
Here is my code:
// Load the bitmap resource
fillBMP2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.test1);
// Copy to a mutable bitmap
mb = fillBMP2.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
// Create canvas to draw to
Canvas offscreenCanvas = new Canvas (mb);
// Create Matrix so I can rotate it
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setRotate (45);
offscreenCanvas.setMatrix (matrix);
// Send the contents of the canvas into a bitmap
offscreenCanvas.setBitmap(mb);
Later in an OnDraw I do the following:
canvas.drawBitmap(mb, 200, 200, null);
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Seems like it should work.
Thanks

Try using this
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.setRotate(15);
canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, matrix, paint);
setRotation method takes in a float representing
the degrees of rotation.

Try this...
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
float px = 200;
float py = 200;
matrix.postTranslate(-bitmap.getWidth()/2, -bitmap.getWidth()/2);
matrix.postRotate(45);
matrix.postTranslate(px, py);
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, matrix, paint);

You definitely want to use transformations: check out this link.
Basically it's this:
// save the canvas
ctx.save();
// move origin to center
ctx.translate(x,y);
// rotate
ctx.rotate(angle * (Math.PI / 180));
// draw image
ctx.drawImage(image, x, y, w, h, .w/2, h/2, w, h);
// restore
ctx.restore();

How might I add a watermark effect to an image in Android?

I have an image with frames and I need to add a watermark effect. How might I do this?

I found great tutorial on Android Image Processing here.
public static Bitmap mark(Bitmap src, String watermark, Point location, Color color, int alpha, int size, boolean underline) {
int w = src.getWidth();
int h = src.getHeight();
Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, src.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(result);
canvas.drawBitmap(src, 0, 0, null);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(color);
paint.setAlpha(alpha);
paint.setTextSize(size);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setUnderlineText(underline);
canvas.drawText(watermark, location.x, location.y, paint);
return result;
}
Thanks to Pete Houston who shares such useful tutorial on basic image processing.

For others reference, if you want to add the logo of your application (which is in your drawable folder(s)) on top of image use following method:
private Bitmap addWaterMark(Bitmap src) {
int w = src.getWidth();
int h = src.getHeight();
Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, src.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(result);
canvas.drawBitmap(src, 0, 0, null);
Bitmap waterMark = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(mContext.getResources(), R.drawable.logo);
canvas.drawBitmap(waterMark, 0, 0, null);
return result;
}

If someone is still searching for this, I found a good solution here
It adds a watermark to the bottom right portion and scales it according to the source image which was exactly what I was looking for.
/**
* Embeds an image watermark over a source image to produce
* a watermarked one.
* #param source The source image where watermark should be placed
* #param watermark Watermark image to place
* #param ratio A float value < 1 to give the ratio of watermark's height to image's height,
* try changing this from 0.20 to 0.60 to obtain right results
*/
public static Bitmap addWatermark(Bitmap source, Bitmap watermark, float ratio) {
Canvas canvas;
Paint paint;
Bitmap bmp;
Matrix matrix;
RectF r;
int width, height;
float scale;
width = source.getWidth();
height = source.getHeight();
// Create the new bitmap
bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG | Paint.DITHER_FLAG | Paint.FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG);
// Copy the original bitmap into the new one
canvas = new Canvas(bmp);
canvas.drawBitmap(source, 0, 0, paint);
// Scale the watermark to be approximately to the ratio given of the source image height
scale = (float) (((float) height * ratio) / (float) watermark.getHeight());
// Create the matrix
matrix = new Matrix();
matrix.postScale(scale, scale);
// Determine the post-scaled size of the watermark
r = new RectF(0, 0, watermark.getWidth(), watermark.getHeight());
matrix.mapRect(r);
// Move the watermark to the bottom right corner
matrix.postTranslate(width - r.width(), height - r.height());
// Draw the watermark
canvas.drawBitmap(watermark, matrix, paint);
return bmp;
}
And it is well commented which is what is a huge plus!

It seems you are looking for a waterrippleeffect as this one. Checkout the complete source code. Also check the screenshot how does the effect look like.

In Kotlin:
Note: Its just modified code of above answers
private fun mark(src: Bitmap, watermark: String): Bitmap {
val w = src.width
val h = src.height
val result = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, src.config)
val canvas = Canvas(result)
canvas.drawBitmap(src, 0f, 0f, null)
val paint = Paint()
paint.color = Color.RED
paint.textSize = 10f
paint.isAntiAlias = true
paint.isUnderlineText = true
canvas.drawText(watermark, 20f, 25f, paint)
return result
}
val imageBitmap = mark(yourBitmap, "Your Text")
binding.meetProofImageView.setImageBitmap(imageBitmap)

You can use androidWM to add a watermark into your image, even with invisible watermarks:
add dependence:
dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.huangyz0918:androidwm:0.2.3'
...
}
and java code:
WatermarkText watermarkText = new WatermarkText(“Hello World”)
.setPositionX(0.5)
.setPositionY(0.5)
.setTextAlpha(100)
.setTextColor(Color.WHITE)
.setTextFont(R.font.champagne)
.setTextShadow(0.1f, 5, 5, Color.BLUE);
WatermarkBuilder.create(this, backgroundBitmap)
.loadWatermarkText(watermarkText)
.getWatermark()
.setToImageView(backgroundView);
You can easily add an image type watermark or a text watermark like this, and the library size is smaller than 30Kb.

I tried a few libraries mentioned in other posts, like this, but unfortunately it is missing, and not downloadable now. So I followed AndroidLearner 's answer above, but after tweaking the code a little bit, for those of you who are having trouble rotating the watermark, and what values are valid for the various methods of Paint class, so that the text shows rotated at an angle(like most of the company watermarks do), you can use the below code.
Note that, w and h are the screen width and height respectively, which you can calculate easily, there are tons of ways you can find on stackoverflow only.
public static Bitmap waterMarkBitmap(Bitmap src, String watermark) {
int w = src.getWidth();
int h = src.getHeight();
Bitmap mutableBitmap = Utils.getMutableBitmap(src);
Bitmap result = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, mutableBitmap.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(result);
canvas.drawBitmap(src, 0f, 0f, null);
Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.setColor(Color.RED);
paint.setTextSize(92f);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);
paint.setAlpha(70); // accepts value between 0 to 255, 0 means 100% transparent, 255 means 100% opaque.
paint.setUnderlineText(false);
canvas.rotate(45, w / 10f, h / 4f);
canvas.drawText(watermark, w / 10f, h / 4f, paint);
canvas.rotate(-45, w / 10f, h / 4f);
return result;
}
It rotates the text watermark by 45 degrees, and places it at the centre of the bitmap.
Also note that, in case you are not able to get watermark, it might be the case that the bitmap you are using as source is immutable. For this worst case scenario, you can use below method to create a mutable bitmap from an immutable one.
public static Bitmap getMutableBitmap(Bitmap immutableBitmap) {
if (immutableBitmap.isMutable()) {
return immutableBitmap;
}
Bitmap workingBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(immutableBitmap);
return workingBitmap.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);
}
I found above method inside here. I have tested using both the methods in my application, and it works perfectly after I added above tweaks. Try it and let me know if it works or not.

use framelayout. put two imageviews inside the framelayout and specify the position of the watermark imageview.
