first, I spend all day finding the answers by myself, with no luck.
So, I am learning to develop for Android. I setup SDK, got everything running. I am also new to java and OOP itself. I have benn programming before, I know several Assemblers and C very well.
So, what I dont really understand is, in every game tutorial, game loop and SurfaceView is started like a new thread. But why? Why to start new thread for this, instead just let it flow from activity start method?
Thanks.
The article on Painless Threading explains this very well.
