Hi There,

I'm just trying to figure out the best approach for running a scolling background on an android device. The method I have so far.... its pretty laggy. I use threads, which I believe is not the best bet for android platforms

@Override
    public void run() {
        // Game Loop
        while(runningThread){
            //Scroll background down
            bgY += 1;

            try {
                this.postInvalidate();
                t.sleep(10);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

    }

where postinvalidate in the onDraw function simply pushings the background image down

canvas.drawBitmap(backgroundImage, bgX, bgY, null);

Thanks in advance
