It is the case of creating 3D views, which is what that i am trying to do ..
For setting the background with a color (equivalent of setBackgroundColor), using glClearColor(float red, float green, float blue, float alpha) with the right values does the trick in the function public void surfaceCreated(GL10 gl) Regarding the setBackgroundResource, it could be possible using a sprite with the texture set from that resource !! placing the sprite to appear as if it were to be background seems to be tricky part. Can you comment if there is a alternate better way ? -Dan On Mar 27, 12:16 am, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > No a surface view punches a whole through your window at its location to let > the surface be seen.
