SurfaceView.setbackground() dominates my canvas

Question

When I set the background to my surfaceview, I see what I set as the background. However, I cannot draw simple things like circles when I lock/unlock the surfaceview's canvas. All I see is the background image.

Is there something I'm missing?

Any thoughts?
