canvas.drawLine() not appearing on bitmap

I have tried so many methods but still my code refuses to simply draw a line on the canvas. Each of the attempts I have commented out either crash the program or won't display the line. I am really struggling to get my head around how to do this, I keep getting different advice on using threads or onDraw or whatever, but none seem to work.

My overall objective is to display a bitmap image on the screen, and draw lines on top of it. I then wish to use canvas.tranlate to make the entire image (the bitmap along with the lines on top of it) pan-able. (I have already implemented the functionality to pan the image successfully.)

public class Main extends Activity implements OnTouchListener {
CanvasView myCanvas;
Canvas canvas;
Bitmap bmp;
float fingerPosX = 0;
float fingerPosY = 0;
float preFingerPosX = 0;
float preFingerPosY = 0;
float bmpX = 0;
float bmpY = 0;
float dx = 0;
float dy = 0;
Paint paint;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.gmit2013mod);
    canvas = new Canvas();
    myCanvas = new CanvasView(this);
    myCanvas.setOnTouchListener(this);
    setContentView(myCanvas);

}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    myCanvas.pause();
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    myCanvas.resume();
}

public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    int action = event.getAction();
    if(action == event.ACTION_DOWN) {       //when touch is received get finger position
        preFingerPosX = event.getX();   
        preFingerPosY = event.getY();
    }

    if(action == event.ACTION_UP) {         //when touch is released get finger position
        fingerPosX = event.getX();
        fingerPosY = event.getY();
        dx = fingerPosX - preFingerPosX;    //subtract previous finger position from current
        dy = fingerPosY - preFingerPosY;
        bmpX += dx;                         //apply difference to image
        bmpY += dy;
    }
    //CanvasView.updateMap();
    //invalidate();

    return true;
}

//CanvasView Class
public class CanvasView extends SurfaceView implements Runnable{ //implements Runnable
    SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder;
    Thread myThread = null;
    boolean isRunning = false;

    public CanvasView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        surfaceHolder = getHolder();
    } 

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        super.onDraw(canvas);
    //  canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, 0, 0, null);
        //canvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
        canvas.drawLine(10, 10, 30, 30, paint);
        //surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
    }

    public void pause() {
        isRunning = false;
        while(true) {
            try {
                myThread.join();
            }
            catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            break;
        }
        myThread = null;
    }

    public void resume() {
        isRunning = true;
        myThread = new Thread(this);
        myThread.start();
    }

    public void run() {
        while(isRunning) {
            //init(); //crashes when code here
            if(!surfaceHolder.getSurface().isValid()) {
                continue;
            }
            invalidate();
            //init();
            //canvas.translate(bmpX, bmpY);
            updateMap();
            //invalidate();
        }
    }

    //  canvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
    //  canvas.drawRGB(255, 255, 255);
    //  canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, 0-(bmp.getWidth()/2), 0-(bmp.getHeight()/2), null);
    //  surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);
    }

    public void updateMap() {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable () {

            public void run() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                //canvas = surfaceHolder.lockCanvas();
                //canvas.drawRGB(255, 255, 255);
                //canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, bmpX-(bmp.getWidth()/2), bmpY-(bmp.getHeight()/2), null);
                //paint.setColor(Color.RED);
                //canvas.drawLine(10, 10, 30, 30, paint);   //it seems this must b in ondraw. try canvas(bmp) again, mite have some affect with different bmp
                //invalidate();
                //surfaceHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas);

            }

        });
    }
}

Here is my code, if you can offer me any solution or some example of this already working online I would be grateful because I am running out of time on this project! Thanks

UPDATE: I added the following lines of code to the onCreate method:

Drawable drawBmp = new BitmapDrawable(bmp);
drawBmp.draw(canvas);

I needed to add paint = new Paint() in onCreate. Paint object was null so that's why it wouldn't draw. Took me weeks and a ridiculous amount of pestering just to spot that! I'm going on vacation...

If anybody plans on making a project like this I intend to make some youtube video tutorials in the near future to help anyone from falling into the same stupid pitfalls that I did!

Many thanks to user_CC too for all his time and help on this question!
