Create tableview on the fly damned slow

[StingRay]

Hi!

In my app i load ini data and create a own gui table view. I've 150 entries and it takes 7 seconds on windows to create the tableview with fastloop.

any idea how to optimize this?

(1. i check how many items are in the ini, start the fast loop x times)

on loop: create actives (background & graphics for every line) & active system boxes (main text and description), then i position them accordingly to there order number in the ini file.

this should work on mobile devices, but no one of my users will wait 7 seconds till the list is refreshed

any idea? thanks!

EDIT: It seems the reason is because i load data from the ini file while in the fastloop - that slows down from 0,5 to 7 seconds

Perhaps use Array or List object instead of INI?

I do this already. I Preload the Data to a List obj. The bottleneck is writing the Text to asboxes

I've got a bit speed up by always hiding asb if outside the visible window (they shouldnt be rendered if outside, though, but it helped a bit)

also i create the objects now by fastloop and then set the texts by standard loop to make the pause as small as possible. it's still too big.

maybe someone have ideas what's the best way to create an individual table for mobile devices? (the standard list object is not a real option, because i cannot change the look on android & ios and i cannot
add subtext to it)

the main bottleneck is still changing the text of every text object (asboxes) - hm...
