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've been dealing with the same issue. I'm learning about game development on Android and also based my first project on the Lunar Lander example. I found that the SpriteMethodTest project created by Chris Pruett implements a much better approach in terms of thread management. It's all about using notify and wait methods, though. I couldn't tell whether it's better than your solution or not.
