Thanks again for your reply, so it's the same problem I had earlier.
So how is the LunarLander Text being displayed? I tried the same
thing it does, with setTextView(), but mine still isn't being
displayed. Does it have anything to do with the enclosing Layouts,
the FrameLayout as the parent of LunarView and RelativeLayout as the
parent of the TextView? I don't understand why the layout xml is even
used this way, why not just programmatically set the LunarView with
setContentView(new LunarView()) - (yes I know it doesn't have a
default constructor, but couldn't you add one?) Soo confused...
Here's my latest:
main Activity:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.board_layout);
mBoardView = (BoardView) findViewById(R.id.board);
// give the LunarView a handle to the TextView used for
messages
mBoardView.setTextView((TextView)
findViewById(R.id.InfoText));
}
public class BoardView extends SurfaceView {
private TextView mStatusText;
public BoardView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
@Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
mStatusText.setText("width : " + w + ", height : " + h);
}
public void setTextView(TextView textView) {
mStatusText = textView;
}
}
