I am creating an android app for playing Chess.

I have used layerDrawable to display 2 layers of background (one layer to display a square of the Chessboard and another for the piece on it).

But the problem is when I want to move the piece from the existing square, I only need the upper layer (the piece) to move.

Is there any way that I can "get" the upper layer.

I tried getBackground() method, but it only returns a drawable, not a layerDrawable.

Your approach looks totally faulty, to me – Phantômaxx Jul 09 '18 at 08:38
Could you please suggest a better approach, I'm new at this. – Amol Jul 13 '18 at 12:18
Use a GridView with alternating background colors. And the piece is transparent (no need to redraw the background). That's all. – Phantômaxx Jul 13 '18 at 15:16
