POBroadcastReceiver makes animations lag
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a <strong>MediaPlayer running in a Service</strong>. The <strong>service sends a broadcast to the activity</strong> with the current duration of the song every 250ms to update a SeekBar in the activity.</p> <pre><code>seekIntent = new Intent("com.someaction"); private Runnable sendUpdateToUI = new Runnable() { public void run() { LogMediaPosition(); handler.postDelayed(this, 250); } }; private void LogMediaPosition() { mediaPosition = mMediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition(); mediaMax = mMediaPlayer.getDuration(); seekIntent.putExtra("counter", mediaPosition); seekIntent.putExtra("mediamax", mediaMax); sendBroadcast(seekIntent); } </code></pre> <p>and <strong>in the activity</strong></p> <p><code>registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, new IntentFilter("com.someaction"));</code></p> <pre><code>private BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { updateUI(intent); } }; private void updateUI(Intent intent) { int seekProgress = intent.getIntExtra("counter", 0); int seekMax = intent.getIntExtra("mediamax", 0); songCurrentDurationLabel.setText(utils.millisecondsToTimer(seekProgress)); songProgressBar.setMax(seekMax); songProgressBar.setProgress(seekProgress); } </code></pre> <p>The activity also has a simple <strong>TranslateAnimation</strong>.</p> <pre><code>TranslateAnimation translate = new TranslateAnimation(Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_PARENT, 0, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, -1.0f, Animation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0); translate.setDuration(500); translate.setFillAfter(true); translate.setFillEnabled(true); btnName.startAnimation(translate); </code></pre> <p>When the receiver is registered, there is a very slight but noticeable lag in the TranslateAnimation. But if I comment out the registerReceiver() line in the activity, i.e., not letting the receiver to register thus not updating the SeekBar, the TranslateAnimation runs perfectly smooth.</p> <p>Any suggestion, how could this be resolved to get smooth animation even after having the receiver registered?</p>
