Getting a bit disillusioned after spending most of the day trying to
make a smooth scrolling app. I've tried everything, views, surface
views, delaying threads, just scrolling tiny pictures, etc., but
whatever I try, there is always an unsightly flicker even though I can
easily achieve 20 - 30 fps.

So I thought I'd check out whats out there in the market to see if
anyone else can crack this. And I couldn't find anything at all! Most
games don't handle scrolling at all, just moving whats on the screen.
Even commercial games like deBlob don't seem to scroll smoothly.

And yet I did find one single app which does handle smooth scrolling.
The native picture viewer does very smooth scrolling on the thumbnail
view. Does anyone know how the picture viewer does smooth thumbnail
scrolling? Going through the source code, I think it uses an extended
View - GridViewSpecial.

Could anyone offer any other examples of smooth scrolling?

Surely smooth scrolling is going to be vital if apps want to out-
perform iPhone apps!!
