Let's have a look at what you want then.

First, you'll need to create a custom View in order to override the onDraw method.

This is where you will draw your circles.

To draw a circle on a canvas, you will use

drawCircle(float cx, float cy, float radius, Paint paint)

Where cx : position X of the center cy : position Y of the center radius : the radius of the circle paint : the paint you'll be using to draw your circle

Now for your paint, you'll just have to create a new one, set its color paint.setColor(Color.RED) As well as the style of the paint : paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.Stroke) Eventually the stroke width and other style you'd like to have.

With all of this, you should be able to work your way through what you want to achieve.

The easiest way to draw an olympic logo is to use high quality png image. But if it is inappropriate for you there is more harder way - you need to draw not circles on canvas, but arcs. You have to calculate all sizes for those arcs and scale them to fit your views.
