View 2 RepliesI have a static background image, and a foreground that needs to be animated. I tried a couple different approaches but the animation seemed choppy. One thing I did was having 2 different views, constantly calling invalidate() on the foreground view. Another was to have only 1 surfaceview, redrawing the background image and the foreground on each step of the animation.
While a surfaceview offers an optimal way to do heavy-duty animation, having to redraw the background every time kills the performance. Neither produced a smooth animation. What is the best way to perform this kind of animation - static background and animated foreground?
I know there is an app like this for the iphone but have yet to find one on Android. Basically I am looking for am app that adjusts the volume of your phone based on how fast you are going. Similar to newer car stereos that go up and down based on your speed.
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.

Which music app on the market has speed control? Currently I have Neutron (paid version) installed on my phone, but this "professional" player does not have speed control, it can't even read .wpl files.

I have a custom boot animation on my phone that I downloaded and it works but I would like to show it down a little bit. It runs through the animation really fast. If it was a little short it would be great. If I go into the boot animation.zip there are two files. One is a file that just has a few numbers in it the other is a bunch of pictures. Does that number file determine the speed it displays those pictures?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm fading out an imageview with alpha animation. I'd like the image to stay transparent after the animation. Tried with different combinations of fillAfter and fillEnabled, no luck. How can this be achieved?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a strange issue - from time to time the animation that should fade out my control (ImageButton) does not kick in immediately. I am using the fadeout animation to hide it and then in myListener on its end (onAnimationEnd) I put new resource as the image on the button.
Somewhere in my app code:
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this,R.anim.fadeout); a.setAnimationListener(new myListener(location)); buttons[location].setAnimation(a); a.startNow(); // regardless if its start() or startnNow() it will work in most of the cases but not 100% reliable I actually can see in debug Log when its late, happens after few more clicks
Then in myListener.onAnimationEnd(Animation a):buttons[location].setImageResource(R.drawable.standard_button);
Seems there is a rule that the every 4th or 5th animation does not start ...
Is it possible in Android to get a callback when a Frame Animation (AnimationDrawable) has completed playing its frame sequence? I know when a Tween Animation has completed, it calls onAnimationEnd(), but is there something similar for frame by frame animations?

Tinkering with the towers lately and I've been seeing sme 4G coverage here are my mobile speed test results I was surprised considering I've been reading about people saying its more like 3 and a half G with speeds not much greater than 3G I realize however that right now there's almost 0 congestion and bandwith will slow considerably however the froyo update should even that out So what are your speeds?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have just started with development and would like to ask if Android's QEMU emulator uses any type of hardware acceleration.I made a simple Android program that extends the WebView activity and loads a webpage at start.That's all it does.It takes 35 seconds to cold start the emulator and acitivity from the Eclipse IDE. It takes 12 seconds to reload the acitivity when emulator is already up & running.Do you think these numbers are normal? Is there any possibility to speed up the emulation speed of QEMU?I can try to answer to this question myself. In the past, I used QEMU with KQEMU kernel module that remarkably boosted the emulation speed on X86 hardware. But Android runs on ARM CPU (not Intel or AMD CPU), so KQEMU module cannot be used here.My PC is Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.00GHz. 4GB RAM. Running Eclipse IDE 3.5 (Galileo) on 64 bit Ubuntu Linux 9.04.

Is there a way to determine connection speed? E.g. EDGE, 3G, etc.? I already know NetworkInfo.getType() will tell me Wifi or Mobile. I'm looking at Is this NetworkInfo.getSubtypeName(), but the function is undocumented.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCurrently, attempting to scroll when the text view has large amount of text makes the app completely unresponsive. It doesn't ANR, but it doesn't respond either. I've tried occasionally removing some text from the text view and removing some spans also, but it doesn't seem to help much. Any idea how to improve scrolling? It takes ages to scroll up or down. I also tried throttling touch events but it hasn't helped either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedApparently auto focus in a phone camera isn't all it's hyped up to be. To get faster performance (the time from pressing the shutter button to the picture being taken is usually slowed down by the camera trying to find focus in autofocus mode (and sometimes missing completely and giving up if the subject is dark or lack contrast). I'm not sure about all Android phones, but my Acer Liquid has a focus setting either 'infinity' or 'auto'. From what what I understand about photography, on a small lens such as on a camera phone, the DOF (Depth of Field) is very large, and when the focus is set to the hyperfocal length (the 'infinity' setting), everything from infinity to about 2.5 ft is in focus. I confirmed this with my phone (set focus to infinity, see what the closest thing that's in focus). So what this really means is for almost all regular picture-taking, it should be set to 'infinity' for faster performance, and only set to 'auto' when one needs to take pictures of objects closer than about 2.5 ft, like a 'macro' mode. So it would've actually made more sense if Android Camera app were to label the two settings '0-2.5 ft auto focus' and 2.5-infinity fixed focus'. If your camera has this setting, give it a try and see if it's snappier.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need fewer speeding tickets. I've tried voting in local elections but that doesn't seem to help. So I'm left to looking at applications that can help me keep my speed in check.
I really like this application for iPhone, but it doesn't seem to have an Android port. It seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. It has a database of speed limits and notifies you when your phone's GPS reports you have exceeded those limits. The database is user-updated so it should be fairly accurate and current. It also has a really classy GUI.
Is there anything currently in the Android market that can help me? I've tried Trapster, but it doesn't have the functions I'm looking for. It also was pretty annoying as it constantly went off for every potential copper hiding place.
