There are two different methods for rendering objects to the screen in Android: View and OpenGL.

I suggest you check out this page that explains your various options as to how to draw to the screen. OpenGl is more powerful, but more difficult to use. You may also want to check out SurfaceView which allows you to use the built-in Android Drawable to render to the screen.

It depends on if you want to use high-end 3D performace in the end. If you do then you have to use OpenGL, otherwise you have a choice between using a SurfaceView or OpenGL.
