In B4J I'm currently using canvas.DrawImage2 to draw about 920 (small) bitmaps at the same time on the screen. This works very fast and I get a consistent frame rate of about 1ms to draw all these bitmaps.
In B4A I'm using canvas.DrawBitmap (+ an invalidate) to do exactly the same and the performance is a lot worse. I get random times between 1ms and 20ms per frame.
What I've tried:
- switching to B4XCanvas, but that means it's not possible to draw a part of a bitmap without cropping the image to be pasted first
- switching to bitmapcreator, but that only makes the performance worse (it seems that bitmapcreator is written in b4x itself)
So what I'm basically looking for is a way to speed up drawing using hardware acceleration. But that doesn't seem to be supported in B4X? What are my options?
