            Bug ID: 85847
           Summary: android: Implement layers of tiles instead of a huge
                    background image
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Libreoffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

At the moment, we use one large background image for the user to see where
about he/she is in the document.  This has 2 problems, especially with large
documents:

* The entire document has to be rendered on startup, which eats terrible amount 
  of time

* The bitmap has so bad resolution, that it looks confusing, and is mostly
  unusable.

Instead of one large bitmap, we need several layers that contain tiles of lower
and lower resolution.

Layer 1: The tiles at 1:1 zoom

Layer 2: Tiles at 1:4

Layer 3: Tiles at 1:16

Layer 4: Tiles at 1:64

Layer 5: Tiles at 1:256

...

Layer X: Just 1 tile at 1:4^(X-1)

This is not a huge amount of tiles - we are not supposed to keep all of them,
we can throw away the ones on X-1 layers variously, as in bug 85846.

On startup, the layers should be filled in this way:

* First Layer 1 - the tiles that intersect the visible area (so that the user
gets the view as the first thing).

* Then the some higher layer, like Layer 3, again only the tiles that intersect
the visible area + one tile before + one tile after (so that the scrolling
immediately gives ~something)

* Then (when idle) the higher layers, up to Layer X - so that there is always
something to render, without having to fetch it first

On scroll, always present the highest quality - can happen to be a combination
of various layers, combining the worse and better quality; but fetch the best
ones accordingly.
