How to use a jpeg (or whatever file format) as a background;

KessonDalef

Hi guys, here it another question about porting Processing sketches on Android How can I use .jpg (or others file format) as background for my apps? I tried using

PImage wallpaper;

void setup() {
size(displayWidth, displayHeight, OPENGL);
smooth();
wallpaper = loadImage("wallpaper.png");
}

void draw() {
wallpaper.resize(width, height);
background(wallpaper);
}

In this way the maximum fps that I get is about 3 or 4... I tried even to load image with image(wallpaper, 0, 0, width, height) instead of background, but it recreate the image only every 5-6 seconds... in Processing and Mac app it works, but not on Android...

I tried the same in Eclipse but got same results (even activating hardware acceleration in the Manifest).

Thanks to all ;)

I have moved this from Arduino forum :)

Ehm... it is for Android, not Arduino :D

It maybe because of the call to resize in draw I suggest you put it in setup like this

PImage wallpaper;

void setup() {
  size(displayWidth, displayHeight, OPENGL);
  smooth(); 
  wallpaper = loadImage("wallpaper.png");
  wallpaper.resize(width, height);
}

void draw() {
  background(wallpaper);
}

Ehm... it is for Android, not Arduino

That is why I moved it.

Nothing to do, I got 4 fps and stretched background image :\

Strange that the image is stretched, as it should have been resized in setup(). Try displaying the image with image() instead of background().

I already tried with image() instead of background, and it refresh the background image only every 4-5 seconds... I resolved, for now, using a generative background done in Processing, I think that it is more beautiful :D ... maybe it is some code issues, it is so chaotic... I will fix it
