Android Question Clearing a canvas

[rfresh]

I am working on a small and simple Draw app. Project is attached as well as main code below.

I can't press the Clear button and have it clear my drawing. Obviously I'm missing something here.

Thank you for any help.

    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:

            rect1.Right = rect1.Left + LineWidth
            rect1.Bottom = rect1.Top + LineWidth

            y2 = Y
            cvsDrawing.DrawCircle(x1, y1, Radius, LineColor, True, 1)
            cvsDrawing.DrawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, LineColor, LineWidth)
            rect1.Left = Min(x1, x2) - Radius
