[android-beginners] Re: Adding Undo feature in FingerPaint app bundled with APIdemos.
:) Thanks James for your reply. I was skeptical about the said approach because it will consume some memory and we all know how precious that is on the device. I was checking to make sure that I am not missing anything available in the framework, here. If the framework could let us have hooks for establishing savepoints and then reverting back to them, I'd rather used that approach.

save() and restore() are just used to save the state of the Canvas (translate, scale, etc.) It won't help you for what you want.
