I can actually draw lines with finger in my app using the FingerPaint in API Demos given in samples of Android SDK. But how to draw these lines with finger only along points placed on the screen. I want something like in this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zok.android.dots
I just want to draw line between point 1 and point 2 with finger. The line between 1 and 2 must be drawn only if the point 2 is touched, else it shouldn't be drawn. Likewise, again from point 2 to point 3 and so on.
Please help me with a code for this.
Thanks in advance
P.S. Please have a look at the app in the link well before answering so that you would have a clear idea about my requirement.

Still am I missing something?

I done something similar but I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're expecting. Try this implementation of PaintView:
Edit:
Added touch_move() to drawn line along finger move.
Edit2:
To draw multiple lines with one move change touch_move() method to this one:
private void touch_move(float x, float y) {
// draw line with finger move
if (isPathStarted) {
mPath.reset();
Point p = mPoints.get(mLastPointIndex);
mPath.moveTo(p.x, p.y);
if (checkPoint(x, y, mLastPointIndex + 1)) {
p = mPoints.get(mLastPointIndex + 1);
mPath.lineTo(p.x, p.y);
mCanvas.drawPath(mPath, mPaint);
mPath.reset();
++mLastPointIndex;
} else {
mPath.lineTo(x, y);
}
}
}

I used it from xml but you can also create it from code, simple xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<com.example.lecho.PaintView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</RelativeLayout>
