Changing from 1 activity to another is really really slow


This is the code that I used:

 Intent i = new Intent(PSTimelineActivity.this, PSPreCheckoutActivity.class);
                            i.putExtra("checkout", 0);
                            startActivity(i);

And it takes around 5-6 seconds to change the activity. Time in which my console log is flooded by the same error, tens of times:

TRACEVIEW doesn't help, because of the services that work in the background of the app. I added some logs, for the next Activity, at the start and end of OnCreate() and OnResume(), and it enters here, logs them, and only after, I get flooded by the error. And the View comes to the screen only after the errors finish. Which is weird. because at OnResume() I should have had the view already correct?

The error might be in my OnCreate() function, even something might be called on a separate thread and that causes the error.

This is my OnCreate() function, if it helps: http://pastebin.com/1ajdzSr2

EDIT: After some more test, I figured out that it hangs on the init function that I call from my OnResume() method. My onResume():

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    CheckOutIntent cot = PSLocationCenter.getInstance().pref.getOutIntent(PSPreCheckoutActivity.this);
    if( cot != null){
        Intent intent = new Intent(PSPreCheckoutActivity.this, PSTimelineActivity.class);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }
    PSLocationCenter.getInstance().pref.setIsBackground(this, false);
    if(!PSLocationCenter.getInstance().mLocationClient.isConnected()) {
        PSLocationCenter.getInstance().startLocationClient();
    }
    init();
}

NOW this is my init() Function: I created it specially in a AsyncTask, to that it won't use the UI Thread. BUT inside, at a moment, I use realm, which must be on the main thread, so I make a Handler post. Might this be the problem? I'm still debugging , but I'm guessing it might be there. PS: Will it help if I remove the Asynctask?

 public void init(){
    loader.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    findViewById(R.id.subheader).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            closeSearchKeyboard();
        }
    });
    AsyncTask initAsync = new AsyncTask() {
        @Override
        protected Object doInBackground(Object[] params) {
            if(checkout == 2){

Solution

  • Thanks to @Ci_ I found out the issue. This is apparently a bug of Android Studio 1.4 Preview. or the Android SDK. For more details, check here: Android: Constant memory consumption / dumpGfxInfo() That helped me resolve it
