There are stutters at times in the app/widget drawer. (I'm working on a launcher replacement so I've been looking into it). It's difficult to diagnose as there's a lot going on (cache, garbage collection, loading resources from disk) and (proper) benchmarking and hardware acceleration are hard topics. It seems on official Android 4.0.2 on the GN there's a slight stutter when starting to scroll a page for the first time, but removing the call to setLayerType(LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE, null); does prevent the stutter. I didn't notice a difference on AOSP Android 4.0.3 on the GN (and official 4.0.3 on the NS, but lower resolution which effects things also). Also interestingly, the animation does a setAlpha and the documentation http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setAlpha(float) states that this implies calling setLayerType with a hardware layer. However I couldn't verify this with getLayerType. (I peaked into the code and didn't find it either, but it's a bit confusing). A comment on this from Romain or another Googler would be greatly appreciated. -Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
