I am working on a Live Wallpaper app. Basically id downloads a bunch
of different background images and then randomly picks one to
display. They change every few minutes to another background. THe
problem I an encountering is during the transitions. The bitmaps
sometimes flickers when transitioning to the new one.
I have a thread class that does the drawing for me and while i swap
the bitmaps i pause the drawing thread but I still get the flicker.
Here's some of the code. I'm not sure what else I need to do. Any
suggestions would be great. Thanks.
//* we don't want to paint the background while we are loading the
//* new image into it so lets pause the drawing then restart
//* it after were done.
this.pausePainting();
xTmpBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(ifp.getInputStream());
if (xTmpBitmap == null)
{
LiveWallpaper1.debugLog.log_error("Unable to create the
bitmap,");
ifp.close();
//* if we fail for some reason we need to restart the
painting
this.resumePainting();
return false;
}
//* get a reference to the new bitmap
this.m_xBitmap = xTmpBitmap;
xTmpBitmap = null;
//* resume the painting
this.resumePainting();
