android equivalent of graphics

Question

Im trying to convert a java program to an android program. So the question is: What is the equivalent of graphics type variable on android. For example "protected Graphics entryGraphics;"

Answer 1

Android has the Canvas class which is essentially the equivalent. For more information please see the official 2D graphics guide.

However Canvas uses the CPU to render the graphics. For GPU rendering and therefore better performance, you may want to check out OpenGL.
