Answer 1

This should do what you're looking for:

The backgroundBitmap variable would be your image1 and the bitmapToDrawInTheCenter would be your image2.

public void centerImageInOtherImage()
{
    Bitmap backgroundBitmap        = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher);
    Bitmap bitmapToDrawInTheCenter = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_action_search);
    
    Bitmap resultingBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(backgroundBitmap.getWidth(), backgroundBitmap.getHeight(), backgroundBitmap.getConfig());

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(resultingBitmap);
    canvas.drawBitmap(backgroundBitmap, new Matrix(), null);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmapToDrawInTheCenter, (backgroundBitmap.getWidth() - bitmapToDrawInTheCenter.getWidth()) / 2, (backgroundBitmap.getHeight() - bitmapToDrawInTheCenter.getHeight()) / 2, new Paint());
    
    ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.myImage);
    image.setImageBitmap(resultingBitmap);
}
