Android Question Performance loading bitmaps

[cucvalencia]

Hello everyone. My question is as follows: I am making an animated wallpaper with 175 images. In terms of performance and battery consumption, what is better? Loading each image from the "files" folder every time and displaying it on the screen, or declaring 175 bitmaps and displaying each one of these? Thank you.

Hello! DO NOT save the bitmaps in variables because that will spike the memory usage of the device. Load it everytime with LoadBitmap or LoadBitmapResize if the size is too big.

Check SimpleMediaManager. It will manage the cache for you: [B4X] SimpleMediaManager (SMM) - framework for images, videos and more

You should use SMM.SetMediaFromFile to load local files.
