When you draw on the Canvas's Graphics, create a mutable Image which is a duplicate of what you have drawn on the canvas. Then call the image's getRGB() to get an array of the RGBA data of the image.

what do you mean by current pixel, and what do you what to know its color for?

@Mmusehani :Good solution....thanks
But why we dont have any inbuilt function for it?????

Actually i want to implement "graphics.setXORMode(xorColor)" like function which is available for j2se and not for j2me..

@njzk2: the color of (x,y) pixel of which (x,y) will be specified as arguments..

[Mmusehani]

I not really sure why we don't have that function. My guess is that the pixels are not stored in an lexicographical order (or not stored at all), therefore the pixel colours can't be referenced by there coordinates. Probably for performance purposes. But that's just my guess.
