ShowcaseView slow down my App thrice

I get used to working with a Showcase View in my app (newest v5.0). I'm using Fragments in my app. My Android is 4.4. 

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_fairy_mouse3, container, false);
    ...
    sv = new ShowcaseView.Builder(getActivity())
        .setTarget(new ViewTarget(rootView.findViewById(R.id.keyboard)))
        .build();
    ...
    return rootView;
}

My app worked very fast but when I add ShowcaseView, my app slow down. When ShowcaseView is visible then I have 1 fps and some freezes. It's very strange because after I close ShowcaseView my app start working very well.

Solution

  • That's not unexpected - there's a lot of drawing that ShowcaseView has to do. I wouldn't recommend using ShowcaseView on screens that are moving or animating.
