实例 SurfaceViewDrawDemo 绘制的是一幅静态图像，而使用 SurfaceView 可以绘制动态图像。

绘制动态图像的过程应该在一个单独的线程中完成，而不应该在主线程中进行。实例 SurfaceViewDynDrawDemo 演示了使用 SurfaceView 组件绘制动态图像的过程。

该实例修改自 Android SDK 提供的实例，绘制的是类似于 Windows 中的变幻线屏保的效果，运行效果如图 1 所示。

实例 SurfaceViewDynDrawDemo 的布局文件 main.xml 内容如下：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello" />
    <SurfaceView
        android:id="@+id/surfaceViewl"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
  
</LinearLayout>

需要注意的是，就像前面所提到的，绘制动态图像的过程必须在一个单独的线程中完成，而不能在主线程中进行。在该实例中，绘图过程是在 DrawingThread 中完成的。
