In the SurfaceView that gets created I override onTouchEvent. Setting
my DrawShape variable for the SurfaceView that gets created will
change the type of object being drawn on the canvas when the user
touches the screen.
I could swear that I have already tried to set the view id and get a
reference to it. However, I have tried many different approaches. If
the is the correct approach, I will try it again immediately and post
my results.
Thanks!
