SurfaceViewTest implementation bug #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In the printed version of the book, in the sub-section "Continuous Rendering 
with SurfaceView", chapter 4, page 179, listing 4-16 leads to an infinite loop.

In method pause() of the inner class FastRenderView, after the join of the 
render thread, the while loop condition is trivially still valid, and the 
application freezes until the complete saturation of the DVM memory. 

It's necessary to add a break after renderThread.join() call. 
However, the online source code is correct.

Sorry, I didn't found any previous report about this issue. 

Maybe I may seem pedantic with all those issues reports, but your book it's 
very instructive, especially for a beginner like me in the field of games 
programming. So, I think that contribution of the whole community of readers 
can help this book to be better in its second edition :) 

Thanks for all your projects, in particular libGDX!
