freeing previously played animations on screen
WiktorBAbove opened this issue · 3 comments
I have a intro screen that shows a pretty simple gif animation 320x240 5fps 4bit color. about 48kb in size.
later on in my menu system i have another animation on a different screen that is similar but is 46kb.
The first animation is played ok, the second one just shows "No \ndata".
Upon trying to use a much smaller animation (the example_gif) the second animation is played good.
So my question is how do I in a good way delete the one-time-intro animation in a good way?
I've tried lv_obj_del, lv_img_cache_invalidate_src and even increasing the cache in lv_conf.h but it is always showing "No \ndata".
Also I am running on a STM32F429 discovery board.
Any wise advice || good tips I can try or am I using it incorrectly?
I've tested the latest version from master using lvgl v8 and it freed the memory correctly with a simple lv_obj_del().
I suggest enabling LV_USE_MEM_MONITOR in lv_conf.h to see how the memory usage and fragmentation change.
Sorry for very late response,
I've tested lvgl8 and it works quite well; took a moment to convert whole project to lvgl8.
Upon testing i noticed two things, animations that are 320x240, 8bit color, 12fps arent working. probably due to the fact that its out of memory(works on lvgl7). it did however free correctly! which was the purpose of this issue.
Thanks for the feedback.
The previous version of the gif decoder was incorrect. To make it work correctly much more memory is required. 🙁
Anyway, as the original issue is solved I close it now.
