libGDX actor draw() not called

Question

Please forgive me for my english.

Began to explore libGDX and have a problem. When I add actor on stage, method draw() not called. Tried to apply the method to draw a straight line, texture successfully drawn but it is not an actor, and this method is not correct.

Help please.

"not called" as in your code is not executed or there is nothing visible? have you tried to batch.begin/end around your button's draw call? — cfrick
and you have overwritten all your methods in your Game class with empty methods. For shorter code? Otherwise nothing at all will render. — cfrick

Thanks for the help.

And now i find my bug.

I replace SpriteBatch to Batch and it work.

change

public void draw(SpriteBatch batch, float parentAlpha) {    
        //!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Error in this place. Draw() not called from stage
        batch.setColor(getColor());        
        batch.draw(Assets.btnPlayRegion, 0, 0);
}

to

@Override
public void draw(Batch batch, float parentAlpha) {    
        //!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Error in this place. Draw() not called from stage
        batch.setColor(getColor());        
        batch.draw(Assets.btnPlayRegion, 0, 0);
}
