input at tag-editor really slow about osmeditor4android HOT 12 CLOSED

[deleted comment]

Sorry, i cannot reproduce this error. Even with 620 nodes in my memory typing 
is not the fastest, but 
feels-like less than 0.5sec.

Do others have similar experiences?

I just tried it on the Motorola Milestone (Android 2.1) and found the same 
issue.
Each time I type a letter (in the edit tag screen) it's very slow.
Even the virtual keyboard is slow to popup.
No problem with other functions on vespucci or other applications using the VK.

On my Nexus One (Android 2.1) there's no problem.

I rewrote it with issue #23 and find it very fast on a Nexus One (2.1-update1, 
not the fast 2.2 yet) now.
A patch is included in #23

Can this still be reproduced with a version build from the source code checked 
in today?

The bug's still there using a Motorola Milestone 2.1 and the last r93.
For what it's worth, the keyboard is working perfectly well at the download 
screen, when writing the coordinates lat and lon.

No idea what could cause the keyboard to be slow there, sorry.
There is not much the application itself does and it´s not slow
here on the device (Nexus One with Milestone 2.1).

I found the issue :)
The problem is in TagEditor.java.
It's not a keyboard issue, because the display is also slow when displaying the 
menu (link to Map_Features).
The "winner" is ... the background blur effect!
This code :
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND, 
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);
slows down everything when using TagEditor with the Motorola Milestone.
I think this phone don't have a complete 3D driver (because Google Earth is not 
available on it) and the blur effect is done using software rendering.
Commenting this line works very well.
Do we delete completely the blur or do we add a parameter do disable it 
manually?

Some developers are talking about it there:

aa16d08/7cac24040634210e?lnk=gst&q=slow+FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND#7cac24040634210e

If we delete the blur flag, the change will be that when launching the 
TagEditor, the background map will be normal instead of blurry.
It's totally readable without blur.
What do you think?

It's strange, I don't see your (Marcus) comments here (code.google), but 
receive them as notifications in my email box.

"(Could have been solved with 2.1-update1 vs. 2.1 of the Android-System)"
I was not accurate but the Motorola already has the last update 2.1-update1.

I fixed the issue in r93.
