Android Question Sleep vs Doevents - waiting actions like 'closedrawer'

[scsjc]

Hello
I'm use a doevents to wait actions (like closedrawer, i atach a sample). I try use with sleep, and the visual efect is not nice.

Sub NavDrawer_NavigationItemSelected (MenuItem As ACMenuItem, DrawerGravity As Int)
   NavDrawer.CloseDrawer
   WaitFor(400)
    Select Case MenuItem.Id
       Case 1:
           ...
    End Select
end sub

Sub WaitFor(Milliseconds As Double)
   If Milliseconds=0 Then
       DoEvents
   Else
       Dim s As Long
       s = DateTime.Now
       Do While DateTime.Now < s + Milliseconds
           DoEvents
       Loop
   End If
End Sub

I don't understand.. have you tried to use sleep(400)?

yes... but the "close transition" is not soft... is knocking...

Check it in release mode.

Check it in release mode.

i try it, and work good if is release mode and don't call subrutine.. directly sleep

You must call sleep directly. Otherwise it will not do anything.
