Thanks for your responses.

I think I have set the view in the content view (although I'm not
entirely sure what that means...). But I don't think I made it
"visible"... how do I do that?

This is what I have:


public class TestDraw extends Activity {

        /** Called when the activity is first created. */
        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(new DemoView(this));
        }

        private class DemoView extends View{

                public DemoView(Context context){
                        super(context);
                }

                @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
                        super.onDraw(canvas);
                        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
                }

                public void drawTest() {

                        // do something

                        // i want onDraw to be called here

                        // do something

                }
        }
}
