Program control flow to onDraw()

I would like to know when will the method

protected void onDraw(final Canvas canvas) {}

will be called. I am asking about the control flow.constructor of this class is called from other class.When control comes to the constructor will it simply call all methods in this class??

Also i want to do some drawing when the draw image is touched and moved. for that i used onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event).But i dont know how to invoke onDraw after i do some coding in onTouch.That is i do change some coordinate values how will call onDraw to redraw image?

Can anyone help?

public class DrawView extends View {
Paint paint = new Paint();
public DrawView(Context context) {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    super(context);
}

@Override
protected void onDraw(final Canvas canvas) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        paint.setStrokeWidth(3); 
        canvas.drawRect(30, 350, 50, 400, paint);
        super.onDraw(canvas);
// some other drawings
}


@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    switch (event.getAction()) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN://some code
        break;

case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE://some code

            break;
case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP://some code  
    break;
        default:            break;
        }
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }
}

}

Call Invalidate when ever you want onDraw method to get called.
