Found the reason for blinking views: the top RelativeLayout collided with
the ActionBar, which is automatically added to the layout since Honeycomb
and has effect even if it is not visible. Although I do not understand
what's really going on, I found a way to get rid of the ActionBar, as not
needed (by googeling of course).
Here is the solution, that makes it disappear and also works for older
versions of Android that do not support ActionBars.
In the Activity hosting my SurfaceView I modified:
@Override
public void onStart(){
super.onStart();
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB){
ActionBar actionbar;
actionbar = getActionBar();
actionbar.hide();
}
...
}
