I'm making a video game for the Android platform and I need advice on the overall set up of the activities and views in the code. I don't need actual code, just a general idea of how to do it, but code always helps. I will basically have the following:

• A surface view that draws bitmaps in a 2d scene and rearranges them according to what ever is happening on the screen.
• A main UI interface that needs to be shown on top of the surface view at all times that has buttons like the attack, defend, hotkeys and so on.
• A start menu as a seperate activity that the user can choose options like volume, orientation, graphics quality, save & exit and so on.

Also I want dialogs throughout the games that pop up when interacting with NPCs and these dialogs need to display pictures as well.

That pretty much encompasses the first version of the game. I will add complexity to it maybe later on down the road but for now I would just like a general plan of how to set all of this up in a functional way. Again code would be nice but I really just need an idea of how to efficiently do these things without wasting memory resources and utilizing the Android APIs capabilites with smart programming methods.
