Best way to add a textview to your main game view?

Question

I am currently developing a simple game for Android, where the main action takes place in my GameView class, which is just an extension of View.

I want to add some text showing the rating in the upper left corner of my GameView, and would like to know a better way to implement this?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I assume your GameView has a canvas since it draws graphics, right? In this case, when you do the rest of your drawing, use

//canvas.drawText(String text, float x, float y, Paint paint); this is the actual method
canvas.drawText(score, 5, 5, null); //but yours would look more like this

Then you just need to create a “score” line and update it in the game.

Alternatively, you can try addView (View child). It will look like this:

GameView.addView(TextView);
