IPA / APK Internal

2013-12-30 Thread Mike
I know this is a difficult question, but who can give us some advice on what to study up on regarding APK / IPA Generation and a RAD tool for Javafx built on JDK8 I'm laying the ground work for doing this and I'm not certain the best tools to use from inside a Rad tool to help developers build

I also watched Gerrits presentation, and he put a lot of emphasis on the difference between drawing using nodes and drawing using CSS. One of the examples was one of his famous gauges, where he used a number of gradients to draw the background. His initial approach was one-node-per-gradient,

Yes Tom, I also came to the conclusion that most of the nodes in those (awesome) gauges are largely static and would rarely, if ever, become dirty so the inference that it's excessive work on the scenegraph would seem unlikely as the cause of the performance degradation. It does look to me that

I'm pretty sure that one performance drawback in these gauges is related to constantly removing and re-adding nodes to the scenegraph in the layoutChildren method. This might be the reason why even static drawing code will be handled even if it was not necessary. One reason why in the Enzo

removing and re-adding nodes to the scenegraph, yeah, sounds like a good suspect. I just got offered a commercial JavaFX project (which I ended up not doing because of all my other work) where the client said that they tried doing it themselves, but had all kinds of architectural issues they

Removing/Adding nodes has a high cost. So doing that in a animation or any performance important area is not a good idea. I have gone to lengths to hide the node creation with apps I have built. Using small number of nodes with most drawing done with css can be good practice. But CSS can be

yep that's exactly what I figured out too...Pi needs some special treatment and optimized for Pi doesn't mean optimized for embedded in general cause Beagleboard really showed different behavior. Cheers, Gerrit Am 30.12.2013 um 19:48 schrieb Jasper Potts jasper.po...@oracle.com:

For IPA generation with RoboVM it's pretty simple since the compiler can be easily embedded and run programmatically from within Java. Please have a look at the RoboVM Maven plugin for a sample on how this is done: https://github.com/robovm/robovm-maven-plugin On Mon, Dec 30, 2013 at 9:27 AM,
