Understanding how memory management works? My app lags
Mells
Guru
Hi,
I am testing a few prototypes and sometimes notice that they lag a little bit on my device (ios).
For example, when I touch a button the app reacts with a certain delay.
If I close a few apps from the multitasking tray, the app reacts better.
It does not seem to be related to the FPS.
So I would like to understand : where is that lag coming from?
Ideally, I would like to be able to identify each kind of lag/error/crash.
How can I identify this type of lag, and even better track it?

So I would like to understand : where is that lag coming from?
- Is the size of my textures too big?
- Is the number of files in memory too big?
- Are the operations that I ask to the app too heavy? (box2D, etc)
Ideally, I would like to be able to identify each kind of lag/error/crash.
How can I identify this type of lag, and even better track it?

I am not sure it's on Gideros' side, most probably it's on mine because I haven't started optimizing my textures, understanding what is the maximum size (ko and resolution) of my images, etc...
I was just developing on desktop without memory constraints.
I didn't find any information about it in the docs, but maybe I am not looking at the right place.

I still do not know how to apply image scales with texture packer.

1. if you're using 2013.06 or 2013.06.1, can you update to 2013.06.2?
2. Can you check if your fps is stable with this code: http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/486/how-do-i-display-fps#Item_7
3. You can see the current texture memory usage with application:getTextureMemoryUsage(). You can compare it with your device's memory.

here is an update :
1. Using 2013.06.2 *really* improved things. I don't know what changed but it's definitely an improvement, and my game is a really simple one.
2. My fps is stable at 59~60fps
3. application:getTextureMemoryUsage() gives me "56700".
I have no idea if that sounds big or not?
