that's not the point of the fragment... i meant that the fragment should handle both the logic (and data download) and the UI. then you can just plop it in any activity you want and you're set. Regarding the Application onCreate - Yeah, it will be before anything else, but you dont know how long

Re: [android-developers] Re: how to create a custom gauge in android

If you don't use *save*() and *restore*() and something gets drawn after your needle, it will also be rotated just as the needle was rotated. So you would probably use something like this: *canvas.save();* canvas.rotate(45, 100, 100); canvas.drawBitmap(…); *canvas.restore();* Thanks.
