Thread use for animation in android mode

Hello is there anyway how can i make animation faster? Its the only thing thats lagging on my phone when running the project... In function i have 3 states (walk,left,right).. Every state has different image..i think thats the only thing thats lagging..thank

You can split everything which would go directly to canvas in different PGraphics objects:

Then have separate functions to process those objects running at different processes via thread():

Just make sure to use draw() for the function image() though:

if i have 2 classes (main and player)... in both i have draw. In main im calling player.draw();.. can i use Thread for player.draw?

GoToLoop

No! Everything related to canvas should be executed under the "Animation" Thread.
For example image(), color(), ellipse(), etc.
As I've mentioned, other things may be relegated to other threads.
For example, PGraphics and other calculus.
