Repackaged Android App drawing issues on Blackberry Playbook simulator

Question

I am trying to repackage a small game I made for Android to be used on the Blackberry Playbook.

I was able to repackage it and deploy to the Blackberry Simulator on vmware just fine, except the redrawing on the simulator just behaves very strangely. For example I get a lot of flickering when things redraw. And sometimes half the screen draws and the other half doesn't. Sometimes the bottom portion of the screen disappears and all the images get shifted up.

This mostly seems to happen when I'm swapping button images, or using ImageView to do little animations and such.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a simulator issue, or will it occur on the Playbook as well? Any idea how to fix?

Answer 1

I can confirm I have experienced the same flickering problems on the Simulator, but I published my repackaged Android app on the BlackBerry AppWorld, got the promotional PlayBook, and the app works fine on the real device. It is definitely the Simulator problem.
