Im writting an app (arent we all) and using the code from the listview2 / tableview sample. I compiled the sample and my app and tested both on a samsung galaxy s vibrant froyo 2.2. The list is very sluggish and jerky. Does anyone know how to adjust this to fix this issue? I was quite surprised and disappointed at the performance.
I only have about 20 items in the list with 2categories.

What version of Corona are you using?
As we all know Android has had performance difficulties with Corona but it’s something that is constantly being improved on. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 13064 reply_id: 47967[/import]
As Peach mentioned, Corona app performance on Android is not as consistant as it is on iOS but don’t look at it as a limitation, look at it as CHALLENGE. I have found that there are ways to get around many of Androids quirky performance issues. Another problem is that there seems to be issues with the Galaxy S line of phones in particular most likely due to changes Samsung made to Android for these devices (such as using an ancient file system). I have a Samsung Fascinate (Verizons version of the Galaxy S) which I use for testing and have run in to performance problems myself. One of the easiest things to try is setting fps to 30 in your config.lua file. I can’t guarantee it will fix your problem but it’s worth a try.

I’ll give the 30fps a try. I’m just surprised that something like the listview2 sample would be slow. I might understand if it was something graphics intensive, bunt not something as simple as the list view/tableviews
I’ll let you know how it goes thanks for the feedback.

I’ve run in to a few head scratchers myself. I don’t use the tableview or ui libraries myself so I’m not sure if there is something in them that might cause performance problems although I think they use transitions which can be a bit wonky on Android. Using a timer to put a delay in between transitions can help sometimes although it’s not a fix for every situation. The way I see it is if I can get my app to work on a device that is known to have problems with Corona apps then it should run on anything else just fine.

Thanks for all the feedback.
Changing the FPS=30 worked and fixed 90% of the issue and I can live with it.
Thanks
