Android FingerPaint Sample Draws Four Lines
===

I ma trying to follow the code for the FingerPaint example provided in Android's APIDemos sample project.  In my case (unless this is supposed to happen), four mirrored lines are being drawn, instead of one line under the user's finger, which is what I want.  I have not made any changes to the code:

    package com.example.android.apis.graphics;
    
    import android.content.Context;
    import android.graphics.*;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.Menu;
    import android.view.MenuItem;
    import android.view.MotionEvent;
    import android.view.View;
    
    public class FingerPaint extends GraphicsActivity
            implements ColorPickerDialog.OnColorChangedListener {
    
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(new MyView(this));
    
            mPaint = new Paint();
            mPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
            mPaint.setDither(true);
            mPaint.setColor(0xFFFF0000);
            mPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
            mPaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
            mPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
            mPaint.setStrokeWidth(12);
    
            mEmboss = new EmbossMaskFilter(new float[] { 1, 1, 1 },
                                           0.4f, 6, 3.5f);
    
            mBlur = new BlurMaskFilter(8, BlurMaskFilter.Blur.NORMAL);
        }
    
        private Paint       mPaint;
        private MaskFilter  mEmboss;
        private MaskFilter  mBlur;

        }

                super(c);
    
                mPath = new Path();
                mBitmapPaint = new Paint(Paint.DITHER_FLAG);
            }
    
            @Override

The picutre end up looking like (I was scribbling in the middle of the screen):

This is my first jump into drawing code like this since school, so my understanding of it is a bit shaky at the moment.
