I am wondering If I can get access to my mainActivity from my extend
SurfaceView somehow. Along the lines of
public class DrawingSurfaceView extends SurfaceView implements
SurfaceHolder.Callback{
public DrawingSurfaceView(Context context, AttributeSet
attributeSet) {
super(context, attributeSet);
getHolder().addCallback(this);
MyMainActivity myMainActivity = (MyMainActivity )."???"
myMainActivity.setDrawingSurfaceView(this);
}
public MyMethod(){
}
}
public class MyMainActivity extends Activity implements
OnClickListener{
public setDrawingSurfaceView(DrawingSurfaceView view){
DrawingSurfaceView MyView = view;
}
MyView.MyMethod();
Does anyone know a way to get "???".
Thanks!
