Since nobody has replied to this, I will state with what I have done thus far, maybe it can help someone else get over the hurdles I am facing.
I have a surfaceview extended class doing all the display of the game, it runs its own thread, so that game interaction outside this class isnt affected speed wise. I have a row of buttonImages below this surfaceview that will handle button presses. Im still not sure whether creating buttons on the surfaceiew would be better(anyone?) I have a mediaplayer in the main acivity class, it handles music, and then I have a couple more medaiplayers for button presses and other game sounds. Thats it so far, im not sure if my decisons are good ones, but it is working for me now. I would certainly like a answer to my questions on how games using surfaceviews should be architected and what is best practise.
