Answer 1

Do you start your Thread by using thread.start() in the surfaceCreated callback? If so, there will always be an error if you're not using a member variable that contains a check if your game has been started.

You need to "pause" your Thread in the surfaceDestroyed callback using wait() command so it doesn't reiterate your game code during pause. Next time you're starting your application (for the first time or maybe second time) you need to start() it or notify() it (after pausing) depending on the circumstances.

At last, always always post code. That will engage people to answer the question properly and correct.
