Custom main menu with rotating android

Question

I would like to make an application with a custom main menu. However, I want to have a different menu, with a circle and items around it. The user can select each item rotating the device.

Should I use a Surface View to draw them and make the animation or there is an easier way for that ?

Answer 1

• Yes, you should draw the background and the text using a surface view.
• You will need to rotate the background and the text when the device rotates.
• This is a fairly simple way to implement it. The rotation is probably the only hard part. Just make a small version to test the code of the main functionality and then build it step by step.
