Trying to learn how to do android dev, using various examples (some from this board and some from elsewhere), I'm trying to use the JBox2D to basically spawn balls wherever I click. The original example simple generated them in onCreate(), I'm trying to extend this example to instead generate them when I click anywhere on the screen.

The balls seem to be created, however they do not display on the screen.
