Where should I use canvas with?
I want to juggle and manipulate several (3, to be more precise) bitmaps and generate smooth animation (hardware acceleration would be required)
My reading on this subject so far led me to believe canvas would be the best option (I could be wrong please advise) since GLSurfaceView is too technical-heavy and require a lengthy learning curve.
The problem is I'm grabbing the problem by the wrong end. Since I understand "canvas" shouldn't be my solution but instead, certain View, e.g. ImageView, SurfaceView etc, and canvas does not work on its own, but usually placed inside the onDraw() method of certain view.
So which view should I choose? SurfaceView? ImageView? GLSurfaceView for future expandability?
Please help?
