Basically, my program has some similarity, in use, as a graphing calculator, but, the equation may be planetary orbits, and the user may want to rotate the solar system to see how the planetary orbits change. That is why I am looking at OpenGL, rather than canvas.
The user will be able to make changes to equations, then I show them the effects graphically. But, not being able to have more than one SurfaceView means that using Fragments won't work anyway. :( Thank you.
