Java (Android) Paste Icon to Canvas

So, I have a custom view where I draw on a canvas. I would like to add an icon or image to the canvas. I tried with

canvas.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.image_name)

The problem here is that my icon has been resized to fit the screen and I have no control to resize or scale the image.

Maybe I can get the height and width of the canvas and then create a Drawable / bitmap with an unscaled icon and fill the background with some color? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Drawable icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image_name);
icon.setBounds(left, top, right, bottom);
icon.draw(canvas);


You can use icon.getIntrinsicHeight()

and icon.getIntrinsicWidth()

to get your preferred icon size.
