want to draw over a changing solid-color background

 I'm trying to draw an animated picture over a background that I want
to shift gradually in color.

The picture is kept in a bitmap, and on each frame, I erase the
background to the new background color and then draw the bitmap on top
of it.  The bitmap was originally cleared to Color.TRANSPARENT, and
that works.  I can see the background color.  But as I animate my
image, each pixel in the bitmap that I 'erase' to Color.TRANSPARENT
seems to remain whatever color it originally was.  Eventually I just
end up with a big blob of color where the moving image should be.

Am I doing something wrong?  How come Color.TRANSPARENT results in
transparency when I use it to drawColor to my bitmap canvas, but not
when I draw with a Color.TRANSPARENT paint to the same canvas?

Evidently it's with devices like these that Google wants to take over India:

What i find quite unusual is that Indian scripts (
http://bit.ly/wpIndicScripts) that are supported in Unicode are not rendered
at all in the Android 2.1 that i have on my Samsung Galaxy S.  All i see is
a rectangular blob.  Has that been rectified in Android 2.2?

Thanks,

2. Listen/bind a hardwarebutton to a activity/event

Hey there, this is kind of a wide question that I'll break down for
you. In general I'm wondering if its is possible, if so then how, to
bind/listen to a hardware-button to my application.

    * Is it possible to make a hardware-button start my app on shot/
long press?
    * Is it possible to start/trigger my widget on a longpress of a
hardware-button?
    * Is it possible to (when i have the app in the background) make a
hardwarebutton triger this app to the foreground/activate it?
    * Is it possible to let a servive listen to long-press of a
button?
    * The camera activity on some phones has a camerabutton, can this
button be programed to work with my app?


What I want to do is that upon a longrpress (hold valume up/home-
button for more than 3 seconds) start/execute a activity in my
application like the camera-application and its camerabutton.

Im searching for any and all information about this right now as I
cant find any real answer ;(
