So I have one app out and another I’m working on that involves loading large images that the user can swipe through. The images for the iPad are roughly double the resolution of the iPad and about 100kb to 300kb in size for each image. I load one image in view, and two other images to the left and right of the center image. As they swipe, I remove the old image and reload a new one.
The problem I always seem to run into is that no matter how large or small the image is, there always seems to be a “hitch” when the image loads where the whole app locks up until the load is complete. This means I can’t use transition animations or touch events while the load is happening which makes the whole app feel hitchy when images are loading. Is there any way around this hitch? Some way to load the image in such a way that the app doesn’t lock up until the load is finished? [import]uid: 17341 topic_id: 26491 reply_id: 326491[/import]
