make an stack(take ArrayList) of the points and based on action move position.

I have implement this tutorial in which i maintain arraylist of x,Y pointsonTouch(MotionEvent event){ int x = (int) event.getX(); int y = (int) event.getY(); if(event.getAction==MotionEvent.DOWN){ temp_point = new ArrayList(); temp_point.add(new Point(x,y); }else if(event.getAction==MotionEvent.MOVE){ if(temp_point!=null) temp_point.add(new Point(x,y); }else if(event.getAction==MotionEvent.UP){ mainPoint.add(temp_point); temp_point = null; } return true; } – user1287756 Mar 26 '12 at 07:38
to move previous try array.get(array.getSize()-1); – Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh Mar 26 '12 at 07:56
