Thanks this is very helpful. Further down I found: E/AndroidRuntime( 2846): Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: VternalTestPreview E/AndroidRuntime( 2846): at java.lang.Class.getMatchingConstructor (Class.java:537) E/AndroidRuntime( 2846): at java.lang.Class.getConstructor(Class.java: 401) E/AndroidRuntime( 2846): at android.view.LayoutInflater.createView (LayoutInflater.java:474)
But I have a constructor! what now, I looked at SurfaceView and I conform to its Constructor template. Any ideas? btw - I have your book.Read it cover to cover getting started. I wish you well with it. m.
