No, currently the Canvas class uses pure software rendering. This may change in the future though. > Are 2D graphics operations done on top of OpenGL > substantially faster on device than 2D graphics operations done on top > of Canvas? Using OpenGL lets you bypass the view hierarchy system, which would probably help in the case of a game. You can also use a solution halfway between the two and simply use a SurfaceView. You can refer to the LunarLander example to see how it's done. -- Romain Guy www.curious-creature.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
