Performance Issue(App is slowing too much on some devices)

I am trying to apply multiple custom views (filters using AndroidViewRenderer) but on some devices like Poco x3, Samsung A8 tab UI gets stuck or is slowed down and skips frames of CameraFeed while rendering for Livestream.

the logs show too much work on the main thread is done while rendering. Kindly help me out with how to optimize the performance across as many devices as we can. Also, if you could chalk out the factors that could have affected the performance and can be enhanced.

That repo is using canvas like me: https://github.com/arthabus/AndroidViewToGLRendering/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/self/viewtoglrendering/GLWebView.java#L31 I will check xml shared, try to find a way to optimize AndroidViewFilterRender and report you back.

Hello,

I think that this is a design problem in AndroidviewFilter. This filter is a bit special because use canvas to get frames from android view so it is really slow compared with others filters that only need use GPU. Also, I detected that this filter could crash sometimes if you don’t render it in main thread using few devices. Since I couldn’t reproduce the error my solution was this: https://github.com/pedroSG94/rtmp-rtsp-stream-client-java/blob/master/encoder/src/main/java/com/pedro/encoder/input/gl/render/filters/AndroidViewFilterRender.java#L127

This could be producing a big preformance issue in your device so I need verify this and know which device receive this error in your case and try to optimize it (I will create a branch to test with an idea and after that if I can’t find a solution buy the device with lowest price that can reproduce it). Check if you are reciving this error (you can copy the AndroidViewFilterRender class and add a log to test). If it isn’t the case, we need to find other possible reason but the rest of the library should be executed async.

Also, if you are using multiple AndroidViewFilters. I recommend you add a layout that contain all views to increase performance.
