Canvas Drawing using an image as place holder

Question

I want to have a drawing canvas within my application which will display letter to free draw for practice. Something like the following:

OR

This is the first time I will be implementing this method so a few questions.

• Can I have my own background for the canvas? (let's say a chalkboard?)
• Do I have to create the letter as image and insert it onto the canvas as Bitmap?

I saw some tutorials but wasn't too clear on how to implement it within app.

Answer 1

I found a solution for you. Having more than 1 Canvas is not the answer (Although may work, I'm still new), but instead draw a seperate Bitmap on top of the first Bitmap (background).

Try this out for size: Overlying Bitmap

You should then be able to edit the overlaying Bitmap without affecting the original Bitmap.

Cheers!
