Android :: Layout With Dynamic Position

I have a layout which might be a bit unusual.

The structure is the following:

CODE:..............

My customRelativeLayout at the bottom of the XML has a XML layout too:

CODE:.............

My CustomRelativeLayout:

CODE:.....................

What I want to do: I want to be able to change the position of my CustomRelativeLayout. It should be follow my touch. Its smaller than the SurfaceView and should "slide" above following my touch...

There are two problems:

The onTouchListener bind to mLinearLayout (in CustomRelativeLayout) is only triggered once and only for ACTION_DOWN. I see the log output only once The note never changes the position, it is never redrawn with the changed matrix... I see the output stated in onDraw never after the touch happened.

First might be because the SurfaceView also handles touch events. But I thought if the CustomRelativeLayout handles it first, it should work.

Thanks to Xil3 I was able to remove the wall I was run into...

Here is my solution:

My note xml:

CODE:.................

And here is my constructor:

CODE:..................

I also found a bug/feature/issue, which is absolutely new for me: When I remove the background in my note root element (which is currently transparent) the note is only visible within the 200dp width/height I have set in the inner LinearLayout. So its not fill_parent, its wrap_content even as I set it to fill_parent. So layout_width and layout_height only use the given fill_parent when a background is set...
