I have two animations in my project. One is a Translate animation, which bounces a small picture up and down while an Internet resource is loading. It is applied to two ImageViews, and they bounce up and down together slowly. While these is happening, the Android's CPU is completely pegged for some reason. The Alpha animation is applied to the same 2 ImageViews, when the pictures have been downloaded. It fades from completely transparent to completely opaque, in half of a second. This animation apparently also pegs the CPU, because the animation shows one half-faded frame and then the final, opaque view. Is there any way to make these animations faster or smoother? Am I missing some big option somewhere, or what? I tried an experiment, where instead of ImageViews I blitted directly to a SurfaceView. These resulted in remarkable performance, but terribly bad things happened if I tried to scroll the ScrollView that my SurfaceViews are in. Is there a better way to improve the speed of animations?
Thank you!
