My app creates a lot of TextView objects and this turns out to be really slow. A look at the traceview output reveals that the bulk of the time is spent in the TextView methods that grab all the default parameters from /res and /util. The thing is, all my TextViews share 99% of these parameters. Is it possible to clone a TextView rather than create one from scratch? If not, what about if I created a pool of TextView objects and reused them?
Just to give some context, I'm generating a spreadsheet to show some data provided from an online source and the spreadsheet can be as big as 20 columns by 50 rows = 1000 cells, each with a TextView. It takes about 25 seconds just to create 1000 TextViews on my Moto Droid. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
