android - How do I use a matrix to resize a bitmap in SurfaceView?

Question

I found this bit of code on a similar question, but I can't figure out how to use it.

Resizing a Bitmap:

public Bitmap getResizedBitmap(Bitmap bm, int newHeight, int newWidth)
{
    int width = bm.getWidth();
    int height = bm.getHeight();
    float scaleWidth = ((float) newWidth) / width;
    float scaleHeight = ((float) newHeight) / height;
    // create a matrix for the manipulation
    Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
    // resize the bit map
    matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);
    // recreate the new Bitmap
    Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bm, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, false);
    return resizedBitmap;
}

I'm also confused as to where to place this. With my initial variables? Inside the constructor, or runnable? If the bitmap I wanted to change the size of is called Background, how do I add that to this method?

Thanks in advance.
