Its not very polished or extensible (the line size and color is hardcoded), but it works well for a prototype: Update: I went ahead and made the color and line width configurable:

TouchPaint was used extensively to figure out how to do this, along with the standard 2d drawing doc.
For me the most non-obvious part of the whole 2d drawing thing was how canvases work. I originally didn't quite understand how a given canvas was linked to what was actually drawn on the screen. In short you have your own canvas, in this case mCanvas, that operates on your own bitmap, mBitmap, then when the onDraw(Canvas) method is called, you copy your bitmap over to the canvas that method provides. The canvas provided by onDraw is backed by the bitmap rendered to the screen, which is how your modifications actually make it to the screen.
