You can see this on the last line inside of the GameView inner class in the complete listing. Additionally make sure you have the gameView.resume() line in the overrided onResume method and the gameView.pause() in the overrided onPause method.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I dont think it’s related to debugging as the device is setup for debugging and the initial ‘Hello World’ display for the app did show on my device without issues but it was only after refactoring the name of the activity this new issue cropped up. I will see what I can dig into, I’m sure I’ve made some mistake somewhere with regards to the activity/class while creating the project.

You could google that it is a little different on different models. Or try it on an emulator.
