How to draw a filled triangle in android canvas?

So I'm drawing this triangle in android maps using the code below in my draw method:

paint.setARGB(255, 153, 29, 29);
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);

Path path = new Path();
path.moveTo(point1_returned.x, point1_returned.y);
path.lineTo(point2_returned.x, point2_returned.y);
path.moveTo(point2_returned.x, point2_returned.y);
path.lineTo(point3_returned.x, point3_returned.y);
path.moveTo(point3_returned.x, point3_returned.y);
path.lineTo(point1_returned.x, point1_returned.y);
path.close();

canvas.drawPath(path, paint);

The pointX_returned are the coordinates which I'm getting from the fields. They are basically latitudes and longitudes. The result is a nice triangle but the insider is empty and therefore I can see the map. Is there a way to fill it up somehow?

Ok I've done it. I'm sharing this code in case someone else will need it:

super.draw(canvas, mapView, true);

Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

paint.setStrokeWidth(2);
paint.setColor(android.graphics.Color.RED);     
paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL_AND_STROKE);
paint.setAntiAlias(true);

Point point1_draw = new Point();        
Point point2_draw = new Point();    
Point point3_draw = new Point();

mapView.getProjection().toPixels(point1, point1_draw);
mapView.getProjection().toPixels(point2, point2_draw);
mapView.getProjection().toPixels(point3, point3_draw);

Path path = new Path();
path.setFillType(Path.FillType.EVEN_ODD);
path.moveTo(point1_draw.x,point1_draw.y);
path.lineTo(point2_draw.x,point2_draw.y);
path.lineTo(point3_draw.x,point3_draw.y);
path.lineTo(point1_draw.x,point1_draw.y);
path.close();

canvas.drawPath(path, paint);

//canvas.drawLine(point1_draw.x,point1_draw.y,point2_draw.x,point2_draw.y, paint);

return true;

Thanks for the hint Nicolas!
