PODo I need to redraw all objects on a canvas every frame?
 

Note that there are some explanatory texts on larger screens.

    <p>I am setting up a game loop. The loop is set to update at 50 FPS. Currently the only action the app does is draw screen coordinates on response to touch events. Originally I set up the draw function to only draw new touch events. This caused the text to blink. Multiple touch events blink at different times, which leads me to think that Canvas uses multiple pages behind the scenes. In an effort to get around this I made a list of every touch event that happened and on every draw call I redraw the entire list.</p> <p>Please correct me if I am wrong, the lockCanvas()/unlockCanvasAndPost() calls are in essence a backbuffer swap. Reading the documentation on locking and unlocking it sounds like it is necessary to redraw the entire scene between calls unless you use lockCanvas(Rect dirty). In this case the dirty rect area needs to be redraw while the outside area is preserved.</p> <blockquote> <p>The content of the Surface is never preserved between unlockCanvas() and lockCanvas(), for this reason, every pixel within the Surface area must be written. The only exception to this rule is when a dirty rectangle is specified, in which case, non-dirty pixels will be preserved.</p> </blockquote> <p>I know it sounds like I've answered my own question, but according to the documentation the Surface is never preserved between calls. However this does not explain the behavior of my first implementation, which was I would tap the screen and the text would start blinking. Since I only drew the text one time, this would mean that the blinking is from swapping to the "backbuffer" which didn't get the drawText() call, and the original Surface which did not get destroyed but perhaps it is to be considered unreliable.</p> <p>So, the question: Do I need to redraw all objects on each draw call? And if so, do I need to "clear" the canvas, or at the least redraw the background image also?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
