Go to card slow

bsouthuk · Post by **bsouthuk** » Mon Mar 23, 2015 3:46 pm

Hi

I have developed an APP that I am now deploying to Android using 7.0.3.

I have a stack containing multiple cards that a user can flick through using the standard 'go to next/previous card' script. The issue I have is that when there are a couple of images on a card, it take up to 10 seconds for that particular card to appear. The images are only small.

Is there something I can do to speed this process up? I do not have any other script within the stack or cards whatsoever. The only script is the 'go to next/previous card' script contained within the buttons on each card.

Help with this would be most appreciated.

Many thanks

Daniel

Are the images imported or referenced? How big are they on disk?

Hi

They are imported and the image on each individual card is 170KB.

Many thanks

Images aren't the problem then, those are pretty small. If it is really the case that you have only one line of script in each button then I can't think of what might be wrong. I was getting similar long response times in an Android app but it was trying to connect (incorrectly) to an online database. The delay you see sounds similar, but it doesn't sound like you're connecting to anything online.

Just in case, check the filename of the image(s) in the property inspector. It should be empty if they are imported.

...user can flick through using the standard 'go to next/previous card' script.

Are you using a "swipe" (flick) motion or a button?

Hi, I'm using buttons.

Hi bsouthuk,
Post your stack I can test it here.

go to card x is slow the first time it is called on mobile... slow as in 2 seconds delay. Frequent revisits whether or not the contents of it are changed through db are fast. There is nothing special about it. Tested it with some console debug commands....

While typing this post I got into some investigation... turns out that setting the font of a field to something else (like Tahoma) causes the delay... font loading? Its just as slow on ipad 2 simulator as on a real ipad air 2.

Also turns out that you can move this delay to the first app start by placing an invisible label thats using the font you use on the other card.

Hi rinzwind,
Isn't it illegal to include Tahoma as a font for iOS unless you own/purchase the license?

it's included in iOS apparently, since I don't have to include anything. But just using it as an example.

hmm it says download... what does that mean? happens automagically?

Check if the resizeQuality of the images are set to "good" or "normal"
It's ultra slow when set to "best"
