hiccup in performance occurs when ad is trying to load

[amairJD]

By moving it from the start , we did lower the boot time a bit but I wonder if it's possible to load the ad in a separate thread so it doesn't interfere with the responsiveness of the buttons? Or is that what handlers already doing?

[fnoori]

Handler basically says, run this code after x milliseconds. So run everything else but load this code after x milliseconds. Doesn't mean that it stops everything else keep in mind.

[amairJD]

Yeah I know, I was just wondering whether handler works like a separate thread. Like when handler runs after, say 2000 ms, does it run simultaneously with the whatever code the program it reaches to at that point, like a thread? Or does it like stop whatever it's doing, go and do the handler stuff, and then continue?

[fnoori]

I'm not too sure about this one, I can try loading the ad on a different thread to see if performances is increased

[fnoori]

Multi-threading causes app to launch >1000 ms At this point, Handler is the method of choice, as it launches the app < 600

[amairJD]

Yes, that is much too long.

Why not combine multi threading with Handler, if possible? So that it only tries to launch the ad thread after everything else is loaded?

[fnoori]

Multi-thread and Handler, results in a little bit slower when compared to just Handler

[amairJD]

That make sense but let's bring this up again when we meet up next

[fnoori]

if we wanna release this soon, we won't have time to meet bro
