Basically, I want to cache a frequently drawn text view to increase the performance of my application.

So, on first-time draw, I cached the text view into a bitmap type buffer, using the methodology in these posts - [get bitmap from textview in android](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3033107/get-bitmap-from-textview-in-android) & [Converting a view to Bitmap without displaying it in Android?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2801116/converting-a-view-to-bitmap-without-displaying-it-in-android?lq=1)

Now, on subsequent draw requests, I want to draw the saved bitmap buffer back to a text view.

But, I am not able to find specimen code for that. There is a lot of discussion on SO for saving a bitmap from the textview, but not much regarding drawing the bitmap back to text view !
Please help me if anybody has worked in this area before.
