Question

I got two different elements, placed side by side inside a linear layout. One of the elements extends SurfaceView, while the other extends View.

Now, filling each element with the same solid color, shows they are rendered differently, the element which is extending View renders the color slightly darker than the other element.

I tried this both using canvas.drawColor(int), and creating a paint and using drawRect() with the same paint in both elements.

Does anybody know whats causing this?

I guess the SurfaceView is not using 32bit color. Try getHolder().setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888);
