How to set Background for Drawpanel in android?
<p>I am using a SurfaceView to draw paths on screen. Everything works fine if I don't set any background to the drawPanel; if I set a background to the SurfaceView the drawing does not work. I need some colorful screen for drawing. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Below is my code:</p>
