hi,
Here's what i'm doing.
From HomeActivity, using an Intent, i start MenuActivity
In MenuActivity, i create an instance of GameView, which extends SurfaceView
GameView is a video game, and so it is passed to GameLoopThread which extends Thread (GameLoopThread calls onDraw() over and over to move Sprites).
Below is the run method in GameLoopThread.
When i click on a Sprite, i start ItemActivity using an Intent
When i click on the back button on my phone i expect to exit the ItemActivity and return to the GameView g, but i get the "Thread already started error"
The error is occurs in GameView g in a SurfaceHolders Callback method.
There error causes me to ask....
How do i handle the Thread that GameView g is running in? Can i kill it?, can it sleep?, what happens to it when ItemActivity is destroyed and MenuActivity (GameView g) is brought back to the front.
