How to smooth canvas drawing in Android?

Question

I'm using Canvas for drawing in my Android application. But the result has bad quality (see the picture)

So, canvas drawing don't draw additional pixels with more dark color between "stairs pixels" for smoothing. Like this

But I'm interesting how to do it. Are there some preferences or methods for smoothing the picture? Thanx!

Edited: I've founded here

Use the ANTI-ALIAS flag for drawing smooth edges.

Paint p = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);
//or
Paint p = new Paint();
p.setAntiAlias(true);
