Question

I am creating a android app using LunarLander as a example.
Now I need to create a few buttons which are drawn over the view.
I do not want them as a seperate layout above or below the view but in the custom view.
Is this possible or am I going to have to programmatically show the button images then detect the touch. The buttons I create using new never show on the app. I assume this is because I have overwritten the onDraw and the buttons are never drawn even though I call
super.onDraw(canvas);

Answer 1

I think you could use FrameLayout to show two layers – first would be your surface from lunar, and second is the layout with buttons etc. You could define everything in layout.xml file. Probably that is enough.
