android gps position accuracy circle

I have a simple activity that gives the GPS position of the user. what i want to do is to draw a circle around the gps position. The circle gives an idea about the accuracy of GPS positioning. For example, if the accuracy is 6 meters, then the radius of the circle will be covering 6 meters . following is the code.

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.gps);
            mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
            mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
            mapView.setSatellite(true);
            mapController = mapView.getController();
            mapController.setZoom(14); // Zoom 1 is world view
            geoUpdateHandler = new GeoUpdateHandler();

            locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);

        } 


     @Override

    public class GeoUpdateHandler implements LocationListener {

        @Override

            int lat = (int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6);
            int lng = (int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6);
            GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat, lng);
            mapController.animateTo(point); //  mapController.setCenter(point);
             MapOverlay mapOverlay = new MapOverlay();
              mapOverlay.setPointToDraw(point);
              List<Overlay> listOfOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();

        }

        @Override
        public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
        }
    }


    class MapOverlay extends Overlay
    {
      private GeoPoint pointToDraw;

      public void setPointToDraw(GeoPoint point) {
        pointToDraw = point;
      }

      public GeoPoint getPointToDraw() {
        return pointToDraw;
      }

      @Override
      public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow, long when) {
        super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);           

        // convert point to pixels
        Point screenPts = new Point();
        mapView.getProjection().toPixels(pointToDraw, screenPts);

        // add marker
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.pen);
        canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, screenPts.x, screenPts.y - 128, null);    
        return true;
      }




    }
    @Override

}

You could also, if your working with a GoogleMap object, add a circle to represent accuracy like this.

         CircleOptions co = new CircleOptions();
            co.center(latlngpoint);
            co.radius(accuracy_in_meters);
            co.fillColor(fillColor);
            co.strokeColor(strokeColor);
            co.strokeWidth(4.0f);
         map.addCircle(co);

You should create your Paint objects beforehand, draw is executed a lot, so keep the allocation to minimal.

      @Override
  public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow, long when) {
    super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);           

    // convert point to pixels
    Point screenPts = new Point();
    mapView.getProjection().toPixels(pointToDraw, screenPts);

    // add marker
    Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.pen);
    canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, screenPts.x, screenPts.y - 128, null);    
    return true;

    mPaintBorder = new Paint();
    mPaintBorder.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    mPaintBorder.setAntiAlias(true);
    mPaintBorder.setColor(0xee4D2EFF);
    mPaintFill = new Paint();
    mPaintFill.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
    mPaintFill.setColor(0x154D2EFF);

    double lat = pointToDraw.getLatitudeE6();
    int radius = (int) mapView.getProjection().metersToEquatorPixels(theGpsAccuracy);
    /** Draw the boundary of the circle */
    canvas.drawCircle(ScreenPts.x, ScreenPts.y, radius, mPaintBorder);
    /** Fill the circle with semitransparent color */
    canvas.drawCircle(ScreenPts.x, ScreenPts.y, radius, mPaintFill);
  }
