How can I remove curvings when drawing a line using the paint in android
<p>I am experimenting with drawing lines. Till now I got the below code, which allows the user to draw lines when moving its finger over a touch screen. However, till now the user can draw curved lines also, how can I restrict the line and eliminate curvings when drawing lines, such that the user is allowed only to draw straight lines.</p>
