Black Screen When App Opens

I keep getting this black screen when ever I open my app, the only way to get rid of it is to press the back button, then again go to the app. I was told by my friend that it is going into deadlock! but I do not think because when I checked the logcat it shows the below log messages.

View

private boolean mGameIsRunning;

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    // Your own start method.
    start();

}

    if (!mGameIsRunning) {
        thread.initLevel();
        thread.setRunning(true);
        thread.start();   

        mGameIsRunning = true;
    } else {

        thread.onResume();

        thread.initLevel();
        thread.setRunning(true);
    }
}

public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Surface is being destroyed");

    // tell the thread to shut down and wait for it to finish
    // this is a clean shutdown

Does rotating the display cause it to refresh (in emulator: CTRL+F12)? If so then you have to override onResume() in your activity and have it restart whatever it is you set up that might not be being called. It could be that you just need to call view.invalidate() from the activity onResume()? You don't show code from your activity so I'm unsure.

In the code I saw, you should use this.postInvalidate() (same as invalidate() but for from a different thread) instead of this.onDraw(canvas) and have it call this.onDraw() on its own in the UI thread, as opposed to in your thread.

Where do you initialize your thread? Try doing so in surfaceCreated( ) instead of the surfaceView consturctor (which is where I think you did it..)

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) { 

    // Restart draw thread
    Thread.State state = thread.getState();

    if(state == Thread.State.TERMINATED)
        thread = new MyThread(getHolder(), getContext());   
    thread.setRunning(true);
    thread.start();  

}
