public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 ImageView imageview;
 Button button;
 Bitmap bitmap;
 Canvas canvas;
 Paint paint;
 int ShapePadding = 80;
 Rect rectangleShape;
 int degreesAngle = 35 ;
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
 
 imageview = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
 button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
 
 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 
 CreateBitmap();

 CreateCanvas();
 
 CreatePaint();
 
 canvas.save(Canvas.MATRIX_SAVE_FLAG);
 
 canvas.rotate(
 degreesAngle,
 canvas.getWidth() / 2,
 canvas.getHeight() / 2
 );
 
 CreateRectangleShape(); 
 
 imageview.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
 
 }
 });
 }
 
 public void CreateBitmap(){
 
 bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(
 400,
 300,
 Bitmap.Config.RGB_565

 {
 canvas.drawRect(
 ShapePadding,
 ShapePadding,
 canvas.getWidth() - ShapePadding,
 canvas.getHeight() - ShapePadding,
 paint
 );

 canvas.restore();
 
 } 
 
}
