the sample program is working good.Once I draw it draws the line.What I want is once I come out of the application the content which I have drawn should be there in the canvas.But I am not able to get the content which I drawn previously.What is the error in this code.Help me Please.Thanks in advance.

In your aplication you use mCanvas to draw which is linked to mBitmap. You need to save mBitmap into the apllication's directory every time you complete a drawing, though this is up to you how frequently it should be saved.

When you restart your activity/application it should check in your saved preferences if there is a path for the previous drawing and then load it into mBitmap so that you can continue to draw on it.

Here is a code how to save a bitmap:

        String myImageFileName = "my_image.jpg";
        try {
            mBitmap.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 80, openFileOutput(myImageFileName, MODE_PRIVATE));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(DEBUG_TAG, "Image compression and save failed.", e);
        }

        Uri uriToSaveImageTo = Uri.fromFile(new File(myActivity.this.getFilesDir(), myImageFilename));

Now you save uriToSaveImageTo into your preferences ...
