[android-developers] Is it possible to Canvas.drawBitmap() directly to a file?

I'm trying to reduce memory consuption of my app. It uses Canvas.drawBitmap on a bitmap in memory, and when the drawing is complete, saves it to the sdcard.

I'm wondering if there is any way to append the drawing direct to a file via stream, instead of writing the hole bitmap in memory.

Do you guys know if it is possible?

Thanks in advance.
