Hey, I'm currently developing a game, and I need to know the best way
to reference its sprites for drawing. Right now I have a pretty simple
runnable thread that starts after the application starts, so it
doesn't hang, and loads up every drawable to a variable. Like so;
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Resources res = mContext.getResources();
BackgroundImage = res.getDrawable
(R.drawable.clouds2);
mBackgroundRays = res.getDrawable
(R.drawable.lightrays);
mBackgroundLoaded = true;
mMenuBunz = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.menu);
mMenuLoaded = true;
mGameLayout = res.getDrawable
(R.drawable.game);
mFoods[0] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.bunbot);
mFoods[1] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.patty);
mFoods[2] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.pattybad);
mFoods[3] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.gold);
mFoods[4] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.bacon);
mFoods[5] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.baconbad);
mFoods[6] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.cheese);
mFoods[7] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.cheesebad);
mFoods[8] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.onions);
mFoods[9] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.onionsbad);
mFoods[10] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.tomatoes);
mFoods[11] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.tomatoesbad);
mFoods[12] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.lettuce);
mFoods[13] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.lettucebad);
mFoods[14] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.buntop);
mFoods[15] = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.life);
mFallingFood[0] = new Food();
mFallingFood[1] = new Food();
mFallingFood[2] = new Food();
mFallingFood[3] = new Food();
mFallingFood[4] = new Food();
mFallingFoods = FOOD_MAX_FALLING;
mGameLoaded = true;
mMenuScores = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.highscore);
mScoresLoaded = true;
mMenuHelp = res.getDrawable(R.drawable.help);
mHelpLoaded = true;
mResLoaded = true;
}
}).start();
That's about 700kb worth of images loaded, but its loading times on
the phone are random. Sometime the images take 5 seconds to load and
at other times they can take up to 20 seconds. Can someone please tell
me how to properly load up my sprites? Thanks.
