[Release] 2 new Radio Apps

Hi all,

i know that flex doesn't come with many news but we just released 2 new apps
and wanted to share them with you. 

Flex is still rocking in 2018 :) 

A special thanks to @quick6black for his awesome Material Design library for
flex, and some help in fine tuning the UI.

Both apps where already in the stores and my team and I updated them with a
new UI and extra features.

Hi Leo,
congrats and thanks for sharing, looks really cool!

Yeah, and I guess it will stay that way for a few more years ;-)

Thanks,
Olaf

We are still building awesome apps with Flex :) 

These will also be released for tvOS and Android TV during 2019.

Carlos,

Make a Tweet and post on Facebook Flex fan page with link to that post!
Great idea!

Thanks,

Hi Leokan,

many thanks to share! I was not aware of that Material library or other
Flex components like DateChooser Mobile!
This kind of posts to share are very important to spread the word and help
us each others as a community. Flex doesn't have many news this days since
maybe we're all working on Apache Royale to get Flex ecosystem work
properly on HTML, but continues to be very important! :)

Very cool Apps, looks very good! I think we should tweet this on twitter
Apache Flex account! :D

Leokan,

You should set the framerate to 60.

I think it is worth trying useVirtualLayout=false especially if the current
item renderers uses large images.
Once all the items renderers are initialized, they won't be rendered
anymore. (this setting "works" only if the list contains a small amount of
item renderers, otherwise initialization duration and memory consumption
would be too important)

Vincent.

It will definitely will. I use an AS3 item renderer on another app with 600
items in the list, and works with great performance.

useVirtualLayout is true now, but I could try false.
cacheAsBitmap is true.
renderMode is gpu (although I had the bug with the black screen but I found
a work around)
framerate is set to 40 to avoid lag if using 60.

Also at some point we will optimize bitmaps as we currently use xxhdpi
images and icons even for the 240ppi devices which also adds overhead to the
performance.

Hi Leokan,

Your application performance will certainly improve by using AS3 item
renderers.

Currently, does the useVirtualLayout parameter is set to true ? I think that
regarding the small number of IR in the list, setting this parameter to
false should improve performance (cacheAsBitmap must be set to true) without
increasing initialization duration too much.

What is the framerate of the application ? do you use 
<renderMode>gpu</renderMode> and  <colorDepth>16bit</colorDepth> in the
application manifest ?

Once again, very nice application.

Vincent.

Thank you all for your kind words.

@After24

I can see some issues too on Android (I tested on op3 and Galaxy S9). As
this is a v1, I wrote the item renderers really quick using MXML ( I know, I
know..) as we were working with a deadline.

Next version will come with several improvements so I will be implementing
all renderers in ActionScript.

This is also the first time I used a list with 2 columns, which could also
have performance issues. I used to write these UIs as a Tilegroup with
scroll and Skinnable cointainers or Item Renderers.

On iOS I didn't notice any issues.

Hi Leokan,

Very nicely designed application : clean and simple.
I just noticed that the list scrolling are not very smooth, even on my phone
which has a powerful processor (oneplus 6)

I'm sure that you could get better performances with a bit of optimization
of your item renderers.

Vincent.

glad the material library helped out. For those who are unaware or want to
contribute, it is on github

https://github.com/quick6black/flex-Android-Material-Skins

@leokan23 downloaded the app, new UI looks great.
