Hey there,

I have two big objects in my sketch: the first one is sort of a menu and the second one is the main sketch:

MainMenu theMainMenu;
MainSketch theMainSketch;

void setup() {

      size(displayWidth, displayHeight);
      theMainMenu = new MainMenu();

}

void draw() {

      if(theMainMenu != null) {
            theMainMenu.displayMenu();
      }

      if(theMainSketch != null) {
            theMainSketch.displaySketch();
      }

}

void startSketch() {
      theMainMenu = null;
      theMainSketch = new MainSketch();
}

Both on their own are running smooth without problems. But combining them in the way above ends in a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.
I thought setting theMainMenu to null would tell the Garbagecollection to recycle this object (and the objects inside it).
I even tried to wait a few seconds after nulling the mainmenu before creating the mainsketch object…
Is there another way to tell the VM: "this object is no longer needed, let's recycle it and clear the ram?"

Thanks for your help in advance,

Hey there.

I'm building a cross-platform game using Processing.
I'm using scale() to zoom in on the map. On Mac and Windows it works fine.
On Android everything is pixelating… Is there a way to antialiase the whole thing?

Here's a screenshot:




Edit: smooth() is doing nothing at all and changing the renderer to P3D or OPENGL throws an out-of-memory error…

Thanks in advance,

Hey there,

I stumbled upon an interesting thing today: tint() does not work if I use copy() to display a part of an image.
Here's the code I used for testing purposes:

1. PImage testimg;
   
   void setup() {
    
     size(600,180);
     testimg = loadImage("03.jpg");
    
   }
   
   
   void draw() {
    
    tint(0,255,255);
    copy(testimg,0,0,600,180,0,0,600,180);
    
   }

I've made a small android application allowing the user to select a soundfile which plays in the background of the sketch.
Well, I'm using this code:

1. void loadSoundFile() {
    
     Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
     startActivityForResult(intent,FILE_REQUEST_CODE);
    
   }
2. @Override
   protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
         super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
           if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                println("ok");
         } else {
                println("damn - its not working");
         }
   }

The file picker successfully launches and I can pick a sound file… But onActivityResult() is not called when returning from an external application (like the Android musiclibrary). If I use an application that just overlays over my sketch (like the WhatsApp soundrecorder) onActivityResult() is called and I can process the returned data. Some guys on Google figured out that it might be a problem with Processing running as an Activity - not as a Fragment.

Did anyone stumbled upon this problem before? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I'm building a small desktop application in Processing. I needed a second window to show a static image.
Now I want to close that second window from the original applet… I created a method calling exit() that causes the whole application to exit. I tried dispose() that gives me a nullpointexception… How can I close that window without closing the whole application?

I'm using this code I found on the old Processing forum:
