How to add dynamic text entered by user to canvas in android?

[vikramsanthalia]

I am making an app in which a user enters some text and that text has to be displayed on a rectangle on an image(like a notes-stick on the image, it can be dragged on the image and also re-sized). I am very new to android and i really can't find a way to do so in android through books and google. I have been designing apps using html, in html we could just style a text-box like we want and add it anywhere on the page. But here i am unable to configure the edit-text to do the same. But i am unable to make the edit-text like a notes-stick and to make it draggable and re-sizable dynamically. I also tried drawing just a rectangle using canvas.drawrect() ... but how to add text to that dynamically is something which i am unable to figure out. I am not asking for the entire code ..but please guys give me a head-start to the right direction so that i can try things out and try to figure out a way.. Right now i am badly stuck.
