I have a game out on Android, and it runs in a single thread. Performs the work in run() and the draws in onDraw().Pretty simple.However, on a Droid it runs much faster than on a G1.What is a best practice for ensuring that the game runs at the same speed regardless of the device?

Apparently EA is bringing NFS to android! Engadget say it was demoed on the EVO yesterday. Are there any videos on the net of it? Also this might well mean we'll be seeing more high profile games coming to Android!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating an app that show some histograms off your traveling speed in different time periods (histogram for the last minute, histogram for the last 2 minutes etc.) I would like to have an animation, and have discovered that drawing everything takes around 300-400ms. Which is to long for making my animation smooth, the animation itself is quite simple (2 lines and 2 dots). What I draw every frame right now is 20 antialised strings, size 14, in average ~5chars 8 of these strings will change every second. 1 of the string will change with the animation (this will become 5 strings if there is time).
The main part of the screen, the one showing the histogram data, consist of a lots of squares which needs to be updated every second. (450 squares). The presentation is split into 5 frames in the same view (has to be same view as arrows in one frame might point into another frame). Invalidating only a part off the screen makes almost no difference (it does becomes a bit faster, but i still execute all my drawing stuff). I have tried to add a flag whether or not the main part is dirty, but if I don't draw it, it is cleared. I might be missing something here. One possibility could be to render all the mostly static stuff to a bitmap, and then simply draw the bitmap. That would mean 10 strings only had to rendered on orientation change.
I think it would make sense since the slowest routine is the one drawing all the text. (the following is a typical timing for the drawing routines, accumulated).
V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 0 - Drawing time: 0 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 1 - Drawing time: 53 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 2 - Drawing time: 62 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 3 - Drawing time: 85 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 4 - Drawing time: 280 ms V/HMMULTIBAR( 352): 5 - Drawing time: 303 ms
I would really appreciate comments about whether or not offscreen rendering is the way to go, or if there is a simpler way.

View 42 Replies View RelatedMy wife's stock 1.5 Eris got the 2.1 update the other day. Since then she cannot setup her speed dials. It goes through like it works, but there are still no speed dials in the list. I cleared cache and data from Dialer and the two People apps in the manager, but it hasn't resolved it. VZW support last night had me do a battery pull, but that also didn't help.
So other than the Factory Reset option, is there anything I can do? Are there any apps specific to Speed Dials? I'd like to avoid the reset at all costs, if possible.
I just recently started using pdanet when my high speed internet connection at home was having issues. Oddly i found it to be very fast and work pretty flawlessly from my droid. My question is during the summer i have a 2nd home which has no option for high speed connections, but does get 3g Verizon. I mostly would use my laptop for reading emails and teaching online classes through my college. Has anyone on Verizon ever had issues using bandwidth through a tethered device as i described? I know there is this on going battle of whether our unlimited plans are truly unlimited or not. I would not use massive loads of data but i do not want to incur problems with my service either. Love to hear your opinions.

This however doesn't seem to scale at all since even for this little game it is quite slow. So what is the solution, to use openGL? that is what all games should? and then I should use frames rather than redrawing?

Any way to bypass this, or hide my root from this game?

Just got the S4. Had the Incredible. Want to make my incredible, basically, a touch device for my kids (Wi-fi) only. So (after posting this question on the verizon forums) I performed a factory reset on my phone (erased all data) in order to start with a clean phone. When it comes back up it wants me to activate the phone. Is there anyway around this? Or do I have to activate the incredible and then reactivate my S4?
