Performance on different Android versions

Post by Mills » Tue Sep 10, 2013 8:49 pm

Good day

I have developed an app on android and have tested it on my device that runs android 4.1.2. The app runs smooth with no problems, however if I run the same app on a device that runs android 4.2.2, the result is the opposite. It runs slow and there is delays...

I have not tested the app on older versions, so don't know how it will run on previous versions of Android.

It is strange to think that the app will run smooth on 4.1.2 and then slow on 4.2.2

Can anyone perhaps tell me if I should be aware of any performance differences between Android versions and if there is a solution around this?

Thanks in advance
Mills

Hi Mils,
Have you tried playing around with acceleratedRendering?

What does the hardware look like on each of those devices?

I have not tried the acceleratedRendering as yet. I will give it a crack and see if it makes any difference...

I still find it strange that the app will run smooth on 4.1.2 and not 4.2.2

I have tested the app on the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4. It runs smooth on the S3, but is slow on the S4.

Not sure if this will be helpful?

Thanks for the feedback Simon & FourthWorld
