Canvas.DrawBitmap unexpected result(BUG or strange behaviour) Xamarin Android

So i have an problem with method of Canvas.DrawBitmap(), that draws unexpected result.
Lets see my example:
Source image
image

I have two cases(just for test):

  1. I want to draw Red rectangle from 0,0 and give for him size 1/4 of image,also i want to draw this bitmap in same size(1/4) and put to Bottom.Right place.
  2. Draw again Red rectangle with same conditions(starts from Top.Left(0,0) and size 1/4 of image) and draw part of bitmap and shows as Rectangle with 1/4 size(Bottom.Right).

Case #1

i'm doing this: 

//source imageview
Source.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.lena30);
//bitmap
            bt = ((BitmapDrawable)Source.Drawable).Bitmap.Copy(Bitmap.Config.Argb8888, true); 
//second imageview, where i fill result
            Draw.SetImageBitmap(bt);
            can = new Canvas(bt);

                Paint paint = new Paint();
                paint.Color = Color.Red;
                paint.SetStyle(Paint.Style.Fill);
                //draw Red Rect with 1/4 size and locate Top.Left
                can.DrawRect(0,0,bt.Width/2,bt.Height/2,paint);
                //redraw new bitmap(all subset) and locate to Bottom.Right with 1/4 size
                can.DrawBitmap(bt, null, new Rect(bt.Width/2, bt.Height / 2, bt.Width, bt.Height), null);

and the result is :
result case1

Case #2

same,but getting now part of bitmap(not full subset of bitmap): 

 //source imageview
    Source.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.lena30);
    //bitmap
                bt = ((BitmapDrawable)Source.Drawable).Bitmap.Copy(Bitmap.Config.Argb8888, true); 
    //second imageview, where i fill result
                Draw.SetImageBitmap(bt);
                can = new Canvas(bt);

                    Paint paint = new Paint();
                    paint.Color = Color.Red;
                    paint.SetStyle(Paint.Style.Fill);
                    //draw Red Rect with 1/4 size and locate Top.Left
                    can.DrawRect(0,0,bt.Width/2,bt.Height/2,paint);
                    //redraw new bitmap(not full,only part of Source Rectangle) and locate to Bottom.Right with 1/4 size
                    can.DrawBitmap(bt, new Rect(bt.Width/2,0,bt.Width,bt.Height), new Rect(bt.Width/2, bt.Height / 2, bt.Width, bt.Height), null);

result case2

So i cant understand,why that happens?(Why image no scaling to fit size and duplicate Rectangles!?).
Any ideas? Thanks!

The issue is that you're drawing the bt Bitmap onto itself, which is causing it to recursively draw until it hits a minimum size limit. It'll take a little reworking of your code, but you'll need to create an intermediate Bitmap and Canvas on which to do your drawing, then set that Bitmap on the target ImageView.

Source.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.lena30);

bt = ((BitmapDrawable) Source.Drawable).Bitmap.Copy(Bitmap.Config.Argb8888, true); 

Paint paint = new Paint();
paint.Color = Color.Red;
paint.SetStyle(Paint.Style.Fill);

Canvas canSource = new Canvas(bt);
canSource.DrawRect(0, 0, bt.Width / 2, bt.Height / 2, paint);

Bitmap btDraw = Bitmap.CreateBitmap(bt.Width, bt.Height, Bitmap.Config.Argb8888);   
Canvas canDraw = new Canvas(btDraw);

canDraw.DrawBitmap(bt, null, new Rect(0, 0, bt.Width, bt.Height), null);
canDraw.DrawBitmap(bt, null, new Rect(bt.Width / 2, bt.Height / 2, bt.Width, bt.Height), null);

Draw.SetImageBitmap(btDraw);

NB: I've never used Xamarin, so please forgive any syntax errors in my attempted translation.
