Hi, I'm developing on ICS and trying to understand why a Canvas.isHardwareAccelerated() will always return FALSE when using a Canvas inside a SurfaceView.
I've tried a very basic example like this: http://android-coding.blogspot.com/2011/05/drawing-on-surfaceview.html Or this one: http://jmsliu.com/199/android-canvas-example.html I even modified them to not have any canvas calls inside the draw loop thinking that I might have got in some unsupported HW accel operations for certain drawing calls. I checked this list under "Unsupported Drawing Operations" http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html but I'm not doing any of that. I am using the Force GPU rendering flag inside the Developer Options together with <application android:hardwareAccelerated="true" ...> inside the manifests, also I'm specifying minSDK/targetSDK >= 14. The View.isHardwareAccelerated will return TRUE, while the Canvas.isHardwareAccelerated will return always FALSE. So my question is, can a Canvas inside a SurfaceView be HW accelerated?
