I am developing a chess game for Android (http://androidchess.appspot.com), using SurfaceView
for the chessboard. I have a drawing Thread
, that draws the chessboard in a loop. The problem is that when there are no active animations (this is more that 90% of time), it makes no sense to waste CPU and battery for drawing. How should I solve this? Maybe somehow pausing and resuming the drawing Thread
?
