Start By going through the Fingerpaint demo in the sdk sample.
Another Sample:

Explanation :
You are creating a view class then extends View. You override the onDraw(). You add the path of where finger touches and moves. You override the onTouch() of this purpose. In your onDraw() you draw the paths using the paint of your choice. You should call invalidate() to refresh the view.
To choose options you can click menu and choose the options.
The below can be used as a reference. You can modify the below according to your needs.
