I am designing a simple Android game using a surfaceview similar to the Lunar Lander sample provided by Google. I want to have various things such as highscores, messages, menus etc pop up on screen with the surface view still in the background.

I’m writing an application (game) where I would like to end the game activity when the user fails the game. My game is loosely based off lunarlander, so I figure it may be easier to ask for help using lunarlander as an example, since a lot of folks are familiar with it.

Currently I'm struggling with the layout of different views. Similar to the example I've made a class which extends a SurfaceView and put that into a FrameLayout. Around this Surface...
Hello Everybody!

I wish anyone who want to develop a game won't need to struggle with them anymore. And anyone who have a better idea of the structure can share their experienc...
