[android-developers] Re: Is there any way to display 8000 * 8000 jpeg file without OutOfMemoryException
Extracting just a single tile out of JPEG file is a really big PITA There are about 27 different variants of JPEG (though not all really matter and are widely used) Usually you've got 8x8 tiles in row-order, and because of entropy encoding you can not navigate just to random tile - you'll have to scan from the start ( maybe you can build index, where single block-rows start - this will make scanning easier ) In this case, there will be only 1000 rows, with 1000 block in them - performance may be adequate. On Nov 20, 11:32 pm, Robert Green rbgrn@gmail.com wrote: I'd solve this by writing a preprocessor that breaks that big file down into manageable chunks. Think of having 10x10 array of 800x800 images. I would also mipmap a 4000x4000, 2000x2000, 1000x1000 and 500x500 of the file. Then, start the user on the correct zoom level, using only the tiles you need of your arrays. OpenGL is actually really good for this sort of thing. You could feasibly use 1024x1024 pixel texture tiles with an orthographic projection and let it handle the scaling. In short, I don't believe there is any way to get 8000x8000x16bit = 128MB of bitmap data into 16MB of RAM all at once, but you can definitely break it apart and work with pieces. A 1000x1000 pixel piece consumes 2MB of RAM. You could have 4 of those loaded at once and be OK on memory. If you're viewing actual pixels, you only need a max of 4 loaded at a time to have seamless panning between them.

If so, you could host this capability (convert 8000x8000 image to smaller image) on a server somewhere. If you try to do all processing on the device itself, it's probably going to be very slow.

[android-developers] Re: How can I get the highest framerate with this quellcode?
Depending on UI event handling to produce smooth and accurately timed animations is usually bad idea In your code, if you remove delay you are just trashing event pipeline, so UI will (and certainly does) become irresponsive. And if you keep it in, your delays are unpredictable (let me Guess, you are sending messages because you can not affect UI from non UI thread? ) I recommend to look into LunarLander sample.

I would recommend to create something like finite automate / state engine to provide smooth and controlled transition between game states You drawing method would look like: redraw() { // field is prepared Canvas canvas = holder.lockCanvas(); // draw background canvas.drawBitmap(field, 0, 0, null); ... draw whatever you like // push it to the screen holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(canvas); } have fun -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

In particular, null may be being returned from readLine at the end of the block, even though there is more data in the transmission. (I don't know that such is possible -- just speculating.)

For older devices, it's possible to notice an impact during activity startup if you're looking for it, but it's fairly innocuous. Reading reviews of apps that use RoboGuice indicates that it doesn't seem to be something users are generally aware of. I've got an action item (Issue #33) to publish some benchmarks at some point. Battery impact should be negligible as roboguice doesn't really do anything in the background. APK size is an issue though. Right now roboguice+guice adds about 450k (400 of that is just guice).

If you've ever used Spring (the #1 enterprise framework on Java, now more popular than J2EE itself) or Guice, you already know how convenient this style of programming can be. To give you an idea, take a look at this simple example of a typical Android activity: class AndroidWay extends Activity { TextView name; ImageView thumbnail; LocationManager loc; Drawable icon; String myName; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); name = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.name); thumbnail = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.thumbnail); loc = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Activity.LOCATION_SERVICE); icon = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon); myName = getString(R.string.app_name); name.setText( Hello, + myName ); } } This example is 18 lines of code. If you're trying to read through onCreate(), you have to skip over 5 lines of boilerplate initialization to find the only one that really matters: name.setText(). And complex activities can end up with a lot more of this sort of initialization code. Compare this to the same app, written using RoboGuice: class RoboWay extends GuiceActivity { @InjectView(R.id.name) TextView name; @InjectView(R.id.thumbnail) ImageView thumbnail; @InjectResource(R.drawable.icon) Drawable icon; @InjectResource(R.string.app_name) String myName; @Inject LocationManager loc; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); name.setText( Hello, + myName ); } } In this example, onCreate() is much easier to take in at a glance. All the platform boilerplate is stripped away and you're left with just your own app's business logic. Do you need a SystemService? Inject one. Do you need a View or Resource? Inject those, too, and RoboGuice will take care of the details. RoboGuice's goal is to make your code be about your app, rather than be about all the initialization and lifecycle code you typically have to maintain in Android. RoboGuice has been in development since August 2009, and 0.9 entered release candidacy in

Do you mean how Activities need to inherit from GuiceActivity instead of Activity? Composition is usually more flexible as inheritance (as there is no multiple inheritance in java) - but for rigigng up interface it should be less problematic. as there is not much of reuse of activities between projects. It would be interesting to put some business code under DI - injecting textviews to them , so they can update values (maybe not real text views, but proxy wrapped one, to overcome problems with interface thread. ) My actual playground: I have highscore service which sits behind the scenes and pulls highscore updates over http ( asynch) - it could receive HTTP-Connector as DI, could be configured via DI with some propeties out of manifest and and reference to some interface obect to push highscores there - with as few knowledge of android whereabouts as possible. regards, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

The app is ICE: In Case of Emergency and has been published on the Market since Feb 09 (at the time, it was the only ICE app for Android). Its currently one of the top-rated paid apps in the Health category. Its such a common phrase, that I wasn't expecting to be able to Trademark it, but I did expect the Market to require competitors to use names that were at least a LITTLE different. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
