I only concern of my animation quality ... Caused the current approach give me a flickering effect (yes which is quite disturbing for viewing).
Double-Buffering is suppose to eliminate this flickering problem ... that's y it's introduced I guess. This approach is very different from my desktop Java experience, which in turn it's quite hard for me to fine tune my game performance. Still hoping there's an official write up tutorial for this in the developer.android.com/ Hate the XML approach for drawing/ animation, ... very confusing mechanism (which I think is not capable of doing serious games, how many great games are there in market??? ). Sorry Android fans, no offends ... please take my feedback constructively. I'm hoping Android could go further than this ... still very much a lab toy to me now.
