Scrolling Background

Well, how about comparing the view's position to the position and size of the background sprite? Remember to account for the view's size, as well, if you need that.


How can I get the position of the view? since getPosition isn't in View Class.

There may not be GetPosition(), but GetRect(), GetCenter() and GetHalfSize() exist.

I don't know what you mean, sorry. GetCenter() has nothing to do with when the user sees the "background". The user will only see things after you draw them, and you can use GetCenter() pretty much anywhere in your code...

If you mean that you want to know the edge of the view, you can use GetRect() or GetCenter() and GetHalfSize(). Otherwise, you will have to be more clear, and maybe post some code, and try to explain exactly how you want it to work, and what your code does wrong.
