We’re developing a custom Android application built for a specific Android — formerly the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 — and I was pretty happy with the way it looked.
However, we’ve changed phones to the Nexus 7, and now a Text View that used to look fine blinks rapidly — it’s seizure inducing. My application updates the text a few times a second, but that’s not new and we never had this problem with the Samsung.
Has anybody experienced something similar, or otherwise have a suggestion?? My original suspicion that the Samsung had more processor power is, I’m pretty sure, incorrect. Should I look into some of the Nexus’ configuration details concerning rendering the GPU??
It’s going to be annoying if have to get rid of this software feature, but I might have to if I can’t improve the look.
It’s not a great answer, but it does work for me if I set up my code to only update the text view every other trip through the draw loop. If anyone else has a different suggestion I’d certainly prefer to try something else, but this at least works.
