Everytime it hits the "c = mHolder.lockCanvas();" line, it pops up with that same error mentioned below.
Also, I realize that c returns a null after called lockCanvas(), but mHolder is still active. Why might this be? I'm getting the following error as seen from the logcat window: E/SurfaceComposerClient( 608): eLocked set when entering lock_layer (), layer=1 (lcblk=0x410480a0), state=00000022 E/SurfaceHolder( 608): Exception locking surface E/SurfaceHolder( 608): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException E/SurfaceHolder( 608): at android.view.Surface.lockCanvasNative(Native Method) E/SurfaceHolder( 608): at android.view.Surface.lockCanvas (Surface.java:190) E/SurfaceHolder( 608): at android.view.SurfaceView $2.internalLockCanvas(SurfaceView.java:549) E/SurfaceHolder( 608): at android.view.SurfaceView $2.lockCanvas(SurfaceView.java:528) This is the basis of my code, which is primarily based on the lunarview: @Override public void run() { while (mRun) { Canvas c = null; try { mHolder = getHolder(); //make sure holder is updated c = mHolder.lockCanvas(); synchronized (mHolder) { if (mMode == STATE_RUNNING && c != null){ doDraw(c); } } } finally { // do this in a finally so that if an exception is thrown // during the above, we don't leave the Surface in an // inconsistent state if (c != null) { mHolder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c); } } } } Can someone get back to me ASAP, this is urgent.
