Hi Tony. Thanks for replying. Seems like what happens is: I make the GraphicsView view that extends view, and the first thing one has to do in graphics mode is drawPaint, which clears the whole screen, including the buttons which had been drawn in the startup Textview. So Someone needs to point me to the example that shows a big square of graphics in the middle of a portrait screem with a pair of buttons on the right or left of the graphics, maybe labeled 'up' and 'dn' and out' and 'in' or similar. I'm tempted to try and draw some ascii graphics, but they always get formatted into a mishmash. ================================================================= On Apr 16, 9:20 am, tony obrien <[email protected]> wrote: > You can (easily?) create a simple main.xml layout file that contains, > say, a LINEAR LAYOUT with the buttons... > > Then in your programming call the SetContextView(R.layout.main) and > you WILL have an R.id.BUTTON#1 to use. > > You may have to call the super(canvas) in the override of onDraw() to > ensure that xml items get drawn in addition to whatever you're drawing > in onDraw(). >
