The canvas passed in onDraw is used for drawing to the screen, so you
shouldn't store it. You can create your own canvas from your own
Bitmap outside of onDraw easily.
private Bitmap mBitmap;
private Canvas mCanvas;
private Paint mPaint = new Paint();
private void createSurface() {
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(64, 64, Bitmap.Config.ARGB8888);
Canvas c = new Canvas(bmp);
mBitmap = bmp;
mCanvas = c;
mPaint.setColor(0xffff0000);
}
private void drawLine(float x1, float y1, float x2, float y2, Paint p)
{
mCanvas.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2,p);
}
Please note that the Canvas can only draw to bitmaps that are Mutable.
