I have MainActivity (which extends Activity) and GameView (which extends SurfaceView).<\/p>\n

MainActivity has TextViews for score and for time left. GameView calculates score and time left, and updates the TextViews in MainActivity.<\/p>\n

This works wells, but the problem is when I re-start the game over and over. The more games are re-started, the slower they become and eventually the app force-closes.<\/p>\n

Below is what I see in logcat messages.<\/p>\n
