This document discusses the process of rendering views and pixels on the screen from a high level object to pixels. It covers the key steps of measure, layout, and draw and explains important concepts like double buffering, vsync, and avoiding overdraw. Key topics include how the GPU helps with rasterization, using viewtreeobserver for size changes, different root view types, and using constraint layout for a more optimized layout. It emphasizes best practices like minimizing unnecessary layout requests and using tools like hierarchy viewer and GPU profiling.

- 56. Questions?
- 58. Step 1: Measure Goal: obtain view size, including its descendants size, agreed by its parent. REF: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#onMeasure(int, int)
- 59. ViewGroup.LayoutParams How big the View wants to be For each dimension, it can specify one of: an exact number MATCH_PARENT WRAP_CONTENT *Might be subclassed, like in RelativeLayout
- 60. MeasureSpec Parent requirement for child UNSPECIFIED: as child wants EXACTLY: exact size AT MOST: maximum size
- 61. Multiple measure() Calls measure() may be called more than once For example: - Call once with UNSPECIFIED - If size too big/small- evaluate - Call with exact size
- 62. View.getWidth() == 0⊠Whatâs up with that?!
- 63. Step 1: Measure - Whatâs View SIZE? - width & height (aka: drawing width & drawing height) - - Actual size on screen, at drawing time and after layout. REF: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#onMeasure(int, int)
- 64. Step 1: Measure - Whatâs View SIZE? - width & height (aka: drawing width & drawing height) - - Actual size on screen, at drawing time and after layout. - measured width & measured height - how big a view wants to be within its parent REF: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#onMeasure(int, int)
- 65. What if we want the size during an animation?
- 66. ViewTreeObserver âProvided by the view hierarchy âUse to register listeners to view tree global changes â For example: layout of the whole tree, beginning of the drawing, touch mode change.... âUse with getViewTreeObserver() https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewTreeObserver.html
- 68. Any Questions?
- 69. The Steps Measure Layout Draw!
- 70. Step 2: Layout Goal : set position for view and all its children, respect parentâs constraints. REF: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#onLayout(boolean, int, int, int, int)
- 71. How many layout passes are there?
- 72. Root View : RelativeLayout 2 passes per change: 1)By viewsâ requests a)Then relativeLayout calculates by relations & weights 2)Determine the final positions for rendering.
- 73. Root View : RelativeLayout Example: âEvery view is RelativeLayout âPer Leaf change: 2*2*2 = 8 traversals X2 X2 X2
- 74. Root View : LinearLayout âmeasureWithLargestChild(true) â Children with weights will have minimum size of largest child âNested weights
- 75. Root View : GridLayout Allows relative positioning, while preprocessing the child view relationships.
- 76. Root View : GridLayout Generally issues 1 layout request Unless: âLayout_gravity: fill* âWrong weights
- 77. This is called Double Layout Taxation
- 78. It Usually Works Fine⊠But... âRoot elements âDeep view hierarchy âToo many (i.e. list) Can hurt.
- 79. What can we do? âFlatten hierarchy : Removing unneeded views Merge on include flatter layout Beware double layout taxation Minimize layout requests
- 81. Hierarchy Viewer Toolsâ Android â Android Device Monitor â Hierarchy Viewer Display complete view hierarchy Access to all the viewsâ properties Get performance stats
- 82. Hierarchy Viewer
- 83. Hierarchy Viewer - Green dot : in the faster 50% of all the View objects - Yellow : in the slower than 50% - Red: the slowest - requestLayout:
- 84. Any Questions?
- 85. Ok ok , but which layout should I choose??
- 86. Simple VS Complex Layouts âSimple : LinearLayout, FrameLayout, TableLayout âComplex : RelativeLayout , GridLayout
- 87. Simple VS Complex Layouts âSimple : LinearLayout, FrameLayout, TableLayout â â Nesting â Performance Problems âComplex : RelativeLayout , GridLayout â â hard to use & maintain â â shouldnât be @ top hierarchy
- 88. Isnât there anything smarter we can do??
- 90. Constraint Layout âApi 9+ âPerformance oriented: â Reduce nesting â Improve measure/layout â Best practice : top level, without nesting layouts User friendly: Expressive
- 91. New Layout Editor Designed for ConstraintLayout - but not only!
- 92. Concept Similar to RelativeLayout : Position a view relative to other layout elements. Yet more expressive & powerful
- 93. Getting Started Design Mode Blueprint Mode
- 95. Among Capabilities - Bias - Ratio - Center - ConstraintSet
- 96. Possible Attributes layout_constraintX_toYOfâ X and Y can be replaced with: a. Top b. Bottom c. Left d. Right e. Start f. End g. Baseline
- 97. Converting To ConstraintLayout 1.Open layout on editor 2.right-click the layout â Convert <layout> to ConstraintLayout.
- 98. Well, thatâs about it! Not officially released, but quite stable. Give it a try :) https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/constraint-layout/index.html
- 99. Any Questions?
- 100. The Steps Measure Layout Draw!
- 101. - View draws itself with size and position from previous steps. - onDraw(Canvas) is called - Canvas object generates (or Updates) a list of OpenGL-ES commands (displayList) to send to the GPU. Step 3: Draw (AKA Update) REF: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#onDraw(android.graphics.Canvas) Guide: http://developer.android.com/training/custom-views/custom-drawing.html
- 102. What Can Go Wrong?
- 103. Allocating objects (new XXX()) might cause a GC (blocking) So you might drop a frame. Allocations in onDraw() But it goes much deeper. See Ian Ni-Lewis: https://youtu.be/HAK5acHQ53E
- 104. B The number of files that a given pixel is drawn in a frame. Overdraw Colt McAnlis: https://youtu.be/T52v50r-JfE
- 105. Detecting Overdraw
- 108. Fixing Overdraw There are 2 common reasons for overdraw: - Redundant backgrounds / Redundant transparency - Wasteful onDraw - Things that arenât visible at all gets drawn (not using quickReject) - Things that will be overdrawn gets drawn (not using clipRect) Colt McAnlis: https://youtu.be/vkTn3Ule4Ps
- 109. QuickReject A method to tell if something can be not drawn at all. Call quickReject to see if you can skip drawing of things that will be off screen. REF: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas.html
- 110. ClipRect ClipRect is a way to avoid OverDraw, By keeping your GPU from drawing pixels that you know that will be obscured by other stuff, you refrain from overdraw.
- 112. ClipRect vs. QuickReject Method return type: Detects... Helps to... QuickReject boolean Fully invisible stuff Avoid redundant calls to drawXXX(), Keeping the drawlist short. ClipRect void Fully and Partially invisible stuff Avoid drawing pixels, but still executing the draw-list! boolean But is usually used as void

- 130. Vsync / Misc Time Misc = (vsync timestamp) - (timestamp when received) â work on the UI thread between two consecutive frames â Choreographer log : âMissed vsync by XX ms skipping XX framesâ High? move work off UI Thread VSync/ Misc Input Animation Measure/ Layout Draw Sync & Upload Command Issue Swap Buffers

- 133. Measure / Layout Executing layout and measure callbacks for needed view. More on that in a few slides :) VSync/ Misc Input Animation Measure/ Layout Draw Sync & Upload Command Issue Swap Buffers
- 134. Draw update (/creates) all display lists + cache. High? complex onDraw() logic many views invalidated VSync/ Misc Input Animation Measure/ Layout Draw Sync & Upload Command Issue Swap Buffers
- 135. Sync & Upload Upload bitmap to the GPU. High? Too many images Too big of an image VSync/ Misc Input Animation Measure/ Layout Draw Sync & Upload Command Issue Swap Buffers
- 136. Command Issue Execution: Android's 2D renderer issuing commands to OpenGL to draw and redraw all display lists High? âComplex view (custom?) âMany views redrawing: â Invalidation â animationVSync/ Misc Input Animation Measure/ Layout Draw Sync & Upload Command Issue Swap Buffers

- #121: Systrace has traces on method android team added. If they had added alot of traces - it would slow the app.
- #136: upload bitmap information to the GPU. The UI thread passes all the resources to the RenderThread. RenderThread (added in L) is a thread helping the busy UI thread with the conversion of display lists to OpenGL commands, and sends them to the GPU. During which, the UI thread can start processing next frame.
