Android Question Game animation speed

Linostar said:

Try to calculate the number of frames per seconds. Look at the code in any of GameView tutorials to know how to calculate it.
(For example: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/gameview-create-2d-android-games-part-i.20038/)

The number of frames per seconds (FPS) will give you an idea about the animation & rendering speed of your device, where the higher the FPS the higher your device speed is, and vice versa. You can take this value into consideration when calculating your "fructe" speed.

I have problems setting speed in one game. It is about fruits that drop from sky and it seems I do not understand how to control the speed .
I use the folowing statement:
fructe(i).y=fructe(i).y+speed
where speed is set by a user option as slow , normal, fast and the values ranges from 1dip,3dip,6dip
the refresh time is done as the canvas refresh itself on Sub AcSf_Update(ElapsedTime As Long)

It would be great to have the game speed up automaticaly as the users plays more and more ....

The problem I have is that from device to device the speed does not feet at all ...
either is is to small at that begining that becomes to boring
or it is to fast at the end and it becomes to dificult to play

I think I would need some advice ..as I can not find any solution to ajust speed game.
Thank your for your time.

I've solved the problem . Thanks.
Sometimes it is a bit hard to understand and I would have little question to clear myself.
object.x=object.x+myspeed*acsf.ElapsedTimeSinceLastDraw/1000

From where comes 1000 ... Is this factor should be proportional or ajusted to the number of objects you are drawing ?

I understand that if ElapsedTime is bigger that means -Device is slowed down
Is this correct ?
