Question

How does one go about doing this? Could somebody give me an outline?

From what I’ve found online, it seems like in my run() function:

1. create a bitmap
2. create a canvas and attach it to the bitmap
3. lockCanvas()
4. call draw(canvas) and draw bitmap into back buffer (how??)
5. unlockCanvasAndPost()

Is this correct? If so, could I get a bit of an explanation; what do these steps mean and how do I implement them? I’ve never programmed for Android before so I’m a real noob. And if it isn’t correct, how DO I do this?

Answer 1

It’s already double buffered, that’s what the unlockCanvasAndPost() call does. There is no need to create a bitmap.
