Answer 1

The is your version with fixes to make it work:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

LinearLayout layout;
float x = 0;
float y = 0;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    layout=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout);
    layout.addView(new CustomView(MainActivity.this));
}

public class CustomView extends View {

    Bitmap mBitmap;
    Paint paint;

    public CustomView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        mBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(400, 800, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        paint = new Paint();
        paint.setColor(Color.RED);
        paint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        canvas.drawCircle(x, y, 50, paint);
    }

    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            x = event.getX();
            y = event.getY();
            invalidate();
        }
        return false;
    }
}

}

I would do it this way:

public class TestActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(new DrawingView(this));
    }

    class DrawingView extends SurfaceView {

        private final SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
        private final Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

        public DrawingView(Context context) {
            super(context);
            surfaceHolder = getHolder();
            paint.setColor(Color.RED);
            paint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
            if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
                if (surfaceHolder.getSurface().isValid()) {
                    Canvas canvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
                    canvas.drawColor(Color.BLACK);
                    canvas.drawCircle(event.getX(), event.getY(), 50, paint);
                    surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
    }
}
