We would like to use some of our existing Java AWT graphics code on the Android platform. As far as I can tell, Android does not include any of the AWT classes -- no Graphics2D, Path2D, FontMetrics, etc.
What is the best approach to port our drawing code to Android? Ideally, we would like to modify our code base to target both Android and generic Java.

The Graphics class is the abstract super class for all graphics contexts which allow an application to draw onto components that can be realized on various devices, or onto off-screen images as well. A Graphics object encapsulates all state information required for the basic rendering operations that Java supports.
There are several ways to create graphics in Java; the simplest way is to use java. awt. Canvas and java. awt.
