Low performance and UI lag when animating layer about android_maskable_layout

[christophesmet]

Probably because the view is being invalidated every time.
You can profile the code and see if there is a possiblity to cache the bitmap.
Is there a sample I can run ?
I don't think automatically caching and breaking the invalidate function would be a good idea.
I suggest you look at bitmap shaders.
Does this answer your question ?

This is a library that you can try here https://github.com/Q42/AndroidScrollingImageView

 <com.q42.android.scrollingimageview.ScrollingImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="250dp"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        scrolling_image_view:speed="0.25dp"
        scrolling_image_view:src="@drawable/world_map" />

and put it in your MaskableFrameLayout.

Well, thats normal. The view is invalidated each time, causing it to mask every time.
Every time it scrolls it invalidates, the mask is being applied.
So this will be very slow.
Either decrease the amount of invalidates or use bitmap shaders.

I also use other views like Frame layout inside MaskableFrameLayout and i animate the views inside frame layout and animations are slow there too. The reason that i use this great library is that it makes it available to mask any view!
is there a workaround that it perform better in animations?
I am not familiar with shaders, how can i use an implementation?

[christophesmet]

Your animation will invalidate each time, causing a masking operation to be executed every time.
Optimize your animation or profile your code.

I appreciate, If you can help me. I have two different views with different animations inside two maskable layout. In first one, i need to simulate a world map sphere movement in a loop so i used this lib(https://github.com/Q42/AndroidScrollingImageView):

 <com.q42.android.scrollingimageview.ScrollingImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="250dp"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    scrolling_image_view:speed="0.25dp"
    scrolling_image_view:src="@drawable/world_map" />

in second one i just have move and scale animations but i use this (https://github.com/daimajia/AndroidViewAnimations) library for implemented animations

  private void animateLines() {
    new Handler().postDelayed(() -> hideLineViews(false), 20);
    YoYo.with(Techniques.SlideInRight)
            .duration(lineAnimationDuration)
            .interpolate(new LinearInterpolator())
            .playOn(lines[1]);
    YoYo.with(Techniques.SlideInUp)
            .duration(lineAnimationDuration)
            .interpolate(new LinearInterpolator())
            .playOn(lines[0]);
}

private void animateExtensions() {
    new Handler().postDelayed(() -> hideExtensionViews(false), 40);
    for (View v : extensions) {
        YoYo.with(Techniques.ZoomIn)
                .duration(lineAnimationDuration)
                .interpolate(new LinearInterpolator())
                .playOn(v);
    }
}

What is your suggestion?

[christophesmet]

Use bitmap shaders.
You are masking the view each time is animates.
That is really cpu intensive.
Maybe try using the hardware layer, but I doubt that will work.
I recommend looking into bitmap shaders.
