I'm not sure what part of the "save" you are trying to accomplish, but I'll assume you're asking how to store what you've drawn on the canvas to a bitmap.

First, make yourself a bitmap to draw into. Say, canvasBitmap. Then:

c.setBitmap(canvasBitmap);

This will store everything that has been drawn into 'canvasBitmap.' Then, when the user presses a button to save:

savedBitmap = Bitmap.copy(canvasBitmap.getConfig(), true);

Now, take savedBitmap and fire it off into the cloud. Hope that helps.
