I need to do some custom drawing on the screen and am a bit overwhelmed when looking at documentation on extending a View, what a Canvas is, Paint, strokes, determining current size of screen space, etc. All I'm looking for is a good sample or tutorial that explains the concepts behind all of this and might give me an idea of which way to go about it.

What I need to do is to draw what basically looks like an organization chart. That is, there will be several text boxes (TextViews) with borders drawn around them to box them in. The boxes will be interconnected by lines running horizontally and vertically. The trick will be to dynamically place everything to fit on the screen and then to compute the end points for the various line segments and draw them.

I did this for the PalmOS version of my product and it was not that difficult, but then PalmOS had a very crude graphic API compared to Android (crude but easy to use!). Any ideas on where I can look to get an idea of how to approach this?
