Android Question Performance issues

[Jack Cole]

As of August, 2017, Google started factoring in "app quality" into their ranking algorithm. For my popular apps, this has been a problem based on their speed metrics. Truthfully, I think the app runs fast, and I think it is probably partly related to the way they are measuring. Regardless, this is something that is hurting my app business. The stats below are for Mind Games.

Here is where I am getting hurt by the measures.

Are other people experiencing similar problems? Look at Android vitals in the dashboard.

I am having trouble even on less complex apps that seem to run quite fast too me (for example: Minesweeper).

I'm wondering if there are any ideas on fixing this or at least making the app perform in a way that is measured more correctly by Google's metrics.

I have the impression that if you update 1 view that everything gets redrawn on the screen and not only the altered view.

Something to keep in mind.

You should use SoundPool for low latency sounds.

just tried it. the spikes/peaks are still there and it is even worse then with the regular mediaplayer.

It is better to start a new thread for this and post the relevant code.
