Advanced Android Canvas APIs
summary
A canvas recorder is implemented to intercept and save Canvas commands for Android session replay, forwarding commands to the real Canvas while recording; a material button produces 12 drawing commands on View-based UI versus 49 calls in Jetpack Compose in the example; coordinate-space conversion uses matrix.setPolyToPoly instead of manual math; a bubble packer plus animation uses an inverted progress with postRotate/postScale to map points and draw circles.
