Code available on github You can download the code by cloning this url from github https://github.com/mobapptuts/recyclerview_image_gallery.git and the code changes are under the Tag “cameradevice” Or else you can run this […]
Read moreIn part 7 of the android performance optimisations for recyclerview image galleries we will be using android glide image library to compare image gallery scrolling performance against the other solutions in this tutorial series. ADD GRADLE DEPENDENCY FOR GLIDE dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:22.0.+' compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.6.0' compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2' } CALL GLIDE […]
Read morePart 2 of the camera2 API tutorial series which describes how to setup the camera2 API surface preview sizes. It is important that the supported preview sizes from the camera device closely match the desired preview size of the applications preview display. GitHub You can clone the code from github and then Tag “camera2-surface-preview-sizes” or else run this […]

Get Code You can download the code from github here https://github.com/mobapptuts/recyclerview_image_gallery.git Tag concurrency Or else run this command git clone –branch concurrency https://github.com/mobapptuts/recyclerview_image_gallery.git Create a class derived from BitmapDrawable public static class AsyncDrawable extends BitmapDrawable { final WeakReference<BitmapWorkerTask> taskReference; […]
Read morePart 2 – Addresses the issue with the bitmaps being loaded from the filesystem in the UI thread by creating asynctask in android which in effect creates a background thread to do the file loading. Steps Create the AsyncTask Class public class BitmapWorkerTask extends AsyncTask<File, Void, Bitmap> { WeakReference<ImageView> imageViewReferences; public BitmapWorkerTask(ImageView imageView) { imageViewReferences […]
