Answer 1

Canvas is a space where you can just draw some graphics, thus the only way to do what you want is detecting when the user click the surface the canvas is drawn on (e.g. a SurfaceView), and using the coordenates you just fire an event. Of course, you need to verify whether the click was done on the specific part you want (e.g. the area where you drew a button or something).
