setSelection slow on certain device about android-viewflow HOT 4 CLOSED

setSelection should be optimized a bit. It re-creates all views in the buffer when called. Larger buffer, more views to populate for your adapter. Is the UI unaccessible during this time?

Thanks. I like your implementation on buffer but nowadays, it seems that the device is powerful enough to handle at least 20 pages full of views.. why not just store them inside the memory instead. thus views doesn't need to be created and thus speed up the selection. ViewPager is actually has much faster implementation. I am not sure how its internal mechanism works but it's quite efficient.

That's not the only use case. Consider a use case where you have an unknown number of elements in the adapter. A number that may grow over time as you flow through the view. Also, consider the use case where each view loads a resource over the internet. You typically don't want to load all those resources if not necessary.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.
