In my app I am drawing many things on canvas.
Before I draw a new figure I want to remove all the previous drawings and start afresh.

In other words I want to perform a NEW-operation as we do it in MS-Paint with a fresh canvas, nothing drawn on it.

How can I achieve such funstionality ?
Please help.

    The best way to do it is to draw a desired starting color onto your entire canvas.
    If you want to to be clear, as origionally.

    myCanvas.drawColor(Color.TRANSPARENT, PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR);
    

    Or if you want a white background like MSPaint

    myCanvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE); // Will accept any color.
