I am working with a custom UI element highlights.So I need to draw a half ellipse like shape over a particular view on runtime.

For example: I have to draw a yellow color half ellipse over a white ellipse.

Help will be appreciated.

public class MyView extends View {

    public MyView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onDraw(canvas);
        float width = (float) getWidth();
        float height = (float) getHeight();
        float radius;

        if (width > height) {
         radius = height / 4;
        } else {
         radius = width / 4;
        }

        Path path = new Path();
        path.addCircle(width / 2,
         height / 2, radius,
         Path.Direction.CW);

        Paint paint = new Paint();
        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        paint.setStrokeWidth(5);
        paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);

        float center_x, center_y;
        final RectF oval = new RectF();
        paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);

        center_x = width / 2;
        center_y = height / 2;

        oval.set(center_x - radius,
            center_y - radius,
            center_x + radius,
            center_y + radius);
        canvas.drawArc(oval, 90, 180, false, paint);
    }
}

Add

new MyView(this)
