Hello,
I make a Game of life and I have a little problem.
With java, when I make a PaintComponent, I can use repaint() method but for my game, I make a Canvas (I took the example of the API DrawPoints) but how can I redraw my canvas? is there a redraw method like repaint() for PaintComponent?

thx

Use invalidate() in your View which calls onDraw(Canvas), for more information visit

Hey I ve Found a Method to use animated Overlay in Android using this draw method one can achieve the ANimated Overlays in indroid

In overlays invalidate() method will not work

The long wait in the draw Method parameters will Make the Overlays to get refreshed in wait times.

public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, PixelCalculator pixelCalculator, boolean b,long wait)
{
super.draw(canvas, pixelCalculator, b,1000);
}

where did you find this method draw with the delay ?

Can you please show example with that method (invalidate() or postInvalidate())?

Thanks in advance
