Hi I am experiencing severe fps dropping(20-30) in a game im trying to develop in order to get to know android. I have a surfaceView which I extended, this has a game thread that does the rendering via the canvas. In the same activity i have a LinearLayout with four ImagesViews inside which i use to register the button presses. If i do not press anything on the screen the app runs at 55-60 fps. As soon as I touch one of the "buttons" (ImageViews) i pass this button click to the game thread which then does the rest.
Thus i have a severe fps drop as soon as I touch the screen to click the "buttons". I have tried overriding the onTouchEvent and doing a Thread.sleep(120) in the main activity This doesnt seem to help. the only other method that helps is overriding the dispatchTouchEvent() in which i also do a Thread.sleep(120), this does stop the frames drop, but now no events reach the imageView listeners. As a noob (i come from AS3 :) Im not entirely sure if having other views in the same activity to register clicks is the best way of doing this type of game. Please help, I have read up but alas nothing helps. this is my layout.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <com.swat.android.views.GameView android:id="@+id/game" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="320dip" /> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/bottomrow" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/background_bottom" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="bottom| center_horizontal"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/leftButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="left" android:src="@drawable/left_button" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/upButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="top" android:src="@drawable/up_button" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/downButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="down" android:src="@drawable/down_button"/> <ImageView android:id="@+id/rightButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="right" android:src="@drawable/right_button" /> </LinearLayout> </LinearLayout> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
