Android - is there something wrong when the user interface works almost completely in OpenGL?

What considerations should be considered when building a GLSurfaceView-oriented interface? This is for the game, and the main part of the user interface will be an intro-screen (start, options, near, exit) and a level selector screen. I spent a lot of time rendering / animating for a game using OpenGL, and I'm not a graphic artist, so choosing an OGL interface makes sense to me. But I'm new to Android and need some external access. Thanks for reading.

Because of the simplicity with which one activity can start another, I would say that it is worth distracting your options and choosing a level from the game itself. If you are not familiar with the initial actions and / or the transfer of information between actions, it has good tutorials and examples. You can try the ubiquitous Notepad tutorial if you haven't already done so ( http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html ).

The advantages of this method are to leave your OpenGL / Game Activity less cluttered and that you can use the tested Android user interface elements instead of creating your own from scratch.
