I am wondering if which of the two is better in loading images in a listview from web, is it by batch through some number of threads that are running simultaneously or one by one through thread queue? I have noticed (but I don't know if that is really the implementation) from the youtube app that the images are loaded by batch and it is kinda fast. Even for not only loading images but also requesting some data from the web as well. Does anyone have an idea?

Take the solution care of scrolling and lazy loading new images and stop to load not more necessary images?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI trying a hand at ListViews and my current experiment is aimed at displaying some data in a ListView. The data to be displayed in each row is simple: an image and some text. The images come from a remote server and the textual data is hardcoded. I have a class that downloads images using AsyncTask and caches the list of images fetched as SoftReferences in a LinkedHashMap. I am also passing a reference of the view to this class, so when the image download/cache read is complete the class will set appropriate Bitmap in the view.

I implemented the lazy-loading images in my ListView. I use a AsyncTask to download the image from the internet and bind it to the ImageView in the UIThread. It's working except that when I scroll the ListView vary fast, the downloaded images sometimes are binded into the wrong items in the list.I guess the problem is from the reuse of convertView in the BaseAdapter.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHere are 4 references that I have found for lazy-loading images into a listview in Android. The idea is to display a placeholder image, get the actual image in the background, update the ImageView in the list when the image is available. I've tried to do this in the simplest way possible using an AsyncTask in an Adapter. The outline of that approach is below. Is it flawed? Is there an agreed approach to handling this common task?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a very common scenario: displaying images in a ListView which have to be downloaded from the internet.Right now I have a custom subclass of ArrayAdapter which I use for the ListView. In my getView() implementation of the ArrayAdapter, I spawn a separate thread to load an image. After the loading is done, it looks up the appropriate ImageView and sets the image with ImageView.setImageDrawable(). So the solution I used is kind of similar to this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/541966/android-how-do-i-do-a-lazy-load-of-images-in-listviewThe problem I'm having is that as soon as I make the call to setImageDrawable() on the ImageView, the ListView somehow refreshes all currently visible rows in the list! This results in kind of an infinite loop. Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedAre there any Android phones that are multi-processor (multi-core/ cpu), where application threads execute concurrently on different processors?
There doesn't seem to be any explicit way of doing asynchronous file I/ O or asynchronous resource loading. So, suppose I put BitmapFactory.decodeResource() or Resources.openRawResource() into a separate thread. Will those methods play nice with the other threads, yielding during blocking I/O operations so those other threads can run?
If those methods rely on the thread scheduler to forcibly suspend them, then the separate resource-loading thread isn't going to help me get my application started any faster (although it will help it to be more responsive to user input).
I have a HorizontalScrollView that has lots of views and images inside it.
The issue is that if I have lots of stuff inside it I will get a 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget'
is there any way to use some kind of cache, or add/remove stuff as I move left/right so its not on memory all the time?

Downloading The Image
CODE:...............
In my app I am downloading images from a remote server and putting it into a gallery and displaying it. The problem is that when i do it on the emulator it works absolutely fine but when i do it on the phone few of the images come and a few are null. I tried many ways but I am not able to find the perfect way. The images on my server are of 50 kb max. But still some are downloaded and rest are not. it would be really great if someone could help me asap coz i need to make this app live by this weekend.
Here is the code snippet to download the images from the server.
CODE:.........
Also is there any other way of loading the images in a seperate thread like it happens in the android market.
In my app I need to download a lot of images for data in a ListView. I do lazy loading and it works rather fast, but still there is a 1-3 secs delay before the first image shows up. My research in the delay shows that the data transfer takes 50% of the time.
Now, I believe that If I could do incremental loading of the images, I would be able to show half an image after just 75% of the delay, which is quite good.
I use Drawable.createFromStream which uses BitmapFactory.decodeResourceStream internally. But even though it takes a stream, it doesn't paint anything before all data is downloaded and decoded.
Do you know a way to load and paint images incrementally with the default Android lib? Or perhaps a good independent one out there?
I am stuck in an peculiar scenario, while developin an app in android.
My app, downloads image from internet and populates the same in a thumbnail format in the application.
As i am not aware of the number of picture's/thumbnails at design time, i am creating image view controls dynamically by using the below mentioned code.
CODE:...................
But in this scenario, all my images gets overlapped with each other. Wherein i want 3 images to be displayed on each row, which i am able to achieve through xml.
I am presently using the following piece of code to load in images as drawable objects form a URL.
Drawable drawable_from_url(String url, String src_name) throws java.net.MalformedURLException, java.io.IOException { return Drawable.createFromStream(((java.io.InputStream)new java.net.URL(url).getContent()), src_name); }
This code works exactly as wanted, but there appears to be compatibility problems with it. In version 1.5, it throws a FileNotFoundException when I give it a URL. In 2.2, given the exact same URL, it works fine. The following URL is an sample input I am giving this function.

How would I load in images in a way that is compatible across the board from a URL?
In my android application i am trying to download images from remote server dynamically ( no of images dynamically come ). for downloading all images it is taking 30 to 40 seconds mean time user has to wait to see the activity . But it is the worst case that loading activity after loading all images. I want to load activity first then load images one by one.

I recently rebuilt my project to target 2.2 from 2.1. In the old project, I did not specify a target SDK (the manifest did not contain something like:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />).
This gave me an error in the console when running, but everything worked fine so I didn't fool with it.
The new project now uses <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" /> in the manifest. But now my drawables from the /drawable-nodpi/ folder are loading with scaling, making them much smaller and significantly changing the desired visuals. If I cut out the <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" /> tag from my manifest, they load properly without scaling.
Even when loading my images like so:
BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inScaled = false; Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(_resources, resId, opts);
They are still scaled when I declare the minimum SDK in the manifest, but not scaled if I remove that tag. How can I load them without scaling while still declaring the minimum SDK?
How do I load the image dynamically through the code? If its unclear, I mean, I want to load image files by name based on the condition in the code. If I use images as resources, the image names have to be hard coded. This is unacceptable to me. If I load image in a webview (with image src path dynamically), the time it takes to load is unacceptable to me. Can anyone suggest any other way to load the images dynamically?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just received a brand new Droid from Verizon to replace my latest refurb Eris because of all the call problems i have had. I figured I could just swap the 8gb SD card I was using in my Eris (because it's a class 6) and put it in my Droid. But when I went to the gallery it started acting really strange. It seems it's having trouble loading all the images, and it's been kind of jumping around and behaving erratically. Is there anything I need to do to my card?

I want to dynamically load a ListView, for example, load them during the scrolling so its not loading all 100 posts I have. How can I achieve this?
I have looked at similiar solutions here at SO, but since I not got it to work, I asked this question.
My code:.............
I have in the same .java file, functions to download the info from the web and loop through 100 items, like this:
CODE:................
And then it add a new order correctly and so on. But now!(?) I want to have so when the first item is loaded, it should appear and when scrolling it loads gradually.
In my Android App I have a listview containing 30 rows, and each row consists of several textviews of which one is spannable and sometimes contains a lot of formatted text and images. Those images are loaded from the web asynchroneously: A placeholder is displayed until the image has been downloaded is then replaced by the image. Unfortunately, the rows of the listview are loaded when I scroll over them. This makes the whole thing very slow. Also, those images are loaded from the web again and again, whenever I scroll over the row. can I turn it off, that the ListView rows are loaded when I scroll over them? They should be loaded once when I start the activity and never again.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to laod the listview dynamically. There are three textviews inside a listview. The text to be set in the textview is fetched from the server. All this is working fine. I am able to fetch the text and am able to display it inside the listview.
The only problem is the position of the textview. The xml layout file is as under:
CODE:.............
If I look at this xml layout in the eclipse layout tab then it is displayed properly. Problem occurs only when the text is fetched dynamically.
I have a listview that is populated by a couple threads that pull in data from the network. Before that data comes in, there are some default values displayed. When the screen loads, there are 6 items displayed, each with the default data. The 1st (index 0) loads and is updated on the screen, and then number 6 (index 5) is updated with that same info. Then, item 2 (index 1) loads, and then item 5 (index 4) mirrors that data. Then item 3 loads, then item 4 reloads with the correct data, then then item 5 with the correct data, then item 6. Why are items 5 and 6 briefly showing the data from other elements in the list? I can't figure out what in the world could be causing this.
