How should I call the onDraw() method of an Android view 30 times per second
For Android, I have a custom view which I fill up with primitive shapes in the onDraw() method.
Coming from a Processing background, I expected the draw method to be called automatically 30 times per second, but its clear that that's not how android views work.
So how should I go about calling this method 30 times per second?

Answer 1
Use an Animation, and call startAnimation() on it from your View.
I don't know that you can set a target framerate -- rather, you're expected to set start and end points in time, and be able to interpolate for any point in time between the two.
If you don't like this approach, you might consider having another thread which periodically calls view.postInvalidate() to request that your View be redrawn.

signal processing - Change the playback rate of a track in real time on Android
I would like to know if somebody knows a library to changing the playback rate of a track in real time. My idea is to load a track and change its playback rate to half or double. Firstly, I tried with MusicPlayer but is was not possible at all and then I tried with SoundPool. The problem is that with SoundPool I can´t change the rate once the track is loaded. Here is the code I am using (proof of concept):

opengl es - 16 bit images and android processing
Am i correct in saying a 16 bit image will be decode and drawn faster than a 24 or 32 bit? I know the file size will be less but if the bitmaps will actually be drawn faster than it would be worth the effort to convert them. If it is faster, how would i go about saving a 16 bit jpeg file? I only found an option in photoshop to save a 16 bit bitmap...which is 54 MB.
