Android lag Plus How i made it run !

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

Ok, i finnaly made my little project to run in Android.
To do that, i created the project with “gdx-setup-ai” and put the code in src package.
made some changes and put the images in the data folder.

It run, but it lags , and a LOT.

Is There Anything that i can do about it ?

#2

I improved the emulator settings and i guess it improved a bit. But, i dont think an android will be able to run with this requirements.

I have absolutely no experience in dev for Android, but if you’re running the AVD, it’s bound to be laggy, I think.

#4

If you are running on an emulator it will lag and there isn’t much you can do about it. you really need to test it on an android device.

#5

Ah ok.
If i want to use Accelerator to get the touchs on the screen, it says its not supported. What should i do :stuck_out_tongue: ?

#6

You use libgdx? run through desktop project and bet your best it’ll run same on the device.

#7

Ah okay.
Is this correct?

package UserInterface;

import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Input;

/**

 * @author André Vinícius Lopes

public class AccelerometerA extends JoystickModel {

    @Override
    public void listener() 
    {
        float accelX = Gdx.input.getAccelerometerX();
        float accelY = Gdx.input.getAccelerometerY();
        float accelZ = Gdx.input.getAccelerometerZ();

        if(accelX > 0)
        {
            moveRight = true;
        }else
            if(accelX < 0)
            {
                moveLeft = true;
            }
        
        if(accelY > 0)
        {
            moveUp = true;
        }else
            if(accelY < 0)
            {
                moveDown = true;
            }
        
        //moveRight = Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.DPAD_RIGHT);
        //moveLeft = Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.DPAD_LEFT);

        //Not Used : 
        //moveUp = Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.DPAD_UP);
        //moveDown = Gdx.input.isKeyPressed(Input.Keys.DPAD_DOWN);

    }
}

==

package UserInterface;

import com.badlogic.gdx.Gdx;
import com.badlogic.gdx.Input;

/**

public class Keyboard extends JoystickModel{

  

    @Override

At glance, it should be fine.
