Thank you for your reply!! I am not sure what doesn't make sense. I was told from a developers forum that I HAVE to use the xml file and extend surfaceview to accomplish my goals. So that is what I did. It works, all I need to do now is call a method.
The DrawingSurfaceView is created from the xml file, not my code, so I don't know how to format a call to mymethod. If it wasn't created from the xml file there are a couple of ways for me to call mymethod. For example if I create the class from where I want to make the call I can do the following. DrawingSurfaceView MyView - new DrawingSurfaceView(); MyView.myMethod(); However, I never create the MyView. It is created form the xlm file. I do not think basic android questions involve xml layout files.
