SurfaceView can be either run with a Canvas front-end, or an OpenGL frontend (which I think was your question).
For a chess game, you're most likely going to be just fine with Canvas. You won't really need OpenGL until you have 50-100 sprites on the screen moving quite quickly :) - Dan On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 5:54 PM, fhucho <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > I am developing a chess game, what view should I use for the > chessboard, Canvas or SurfaceView?
