Programming with SurfaceView and thread strategy for game development

Question

I am using a SurfaceView and a rendering thread to develop a game based on structure like LunarLander.

However, I faced many problems, and here I want to point them

Answer 1

I hope it can help

@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {

   //if it is the first time the thread starts
   if(thread.getState() == Thread.State.NEW){
    thread.setRunning(true);//riga originale
    thread.start();//riga originale
   }

   //after a pause it starts the thread again
   else
   if (thread.getState() == Thread.State.TERMINATED){
       thread = new MainThread(getHolder(), this);
       thread.setRunning(true);
       thread.start();  // Start a new thread
       }
   }

and this

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
    Log.d(TAG, "Pausing...");
    MainThread.running=false;//this is the value for stop the loop in the run()
    super.onPause();
    }
