Question

Back with another question,

How do i draw 4 lines in onDraw?
these are 4 constant lines with red color that represents my border of the view.
i tried drawing and could only draw 1 line and even that wasnt in the same width as my screen.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Try:

public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    super.onDraw(canvas);
    Paint redPaint = new Paint();
    redPaint.setColor(Color.RED);
    redPaint.setStrokeWidth(5); // set stroke so you can actually see the lines

    canvas.drawLine(0, 0, getMeasuredWidth(), 0, redPaint);
    canvas.drawLine(getMeasuredWidth(), 0, getMeasuredWidth(), getMeasuredHeight(), redPaint);
    canvas.drawLine(getMeasuredWidth(), getMeasuredHeight(), 0, getMeasuredHeight(), redPaint);
    canvas.drawLine(0, getMeasuredHeight(), 0, 0, redPaint);
}
