Animation at the beginning of activity jumps

Question

I am working on animating custom Views for my Android app. I have accomplished this via Property Animations and calling invalidate() on the View in the onAnim

Answer 1

It sounds like your draw loop UI thread is getting starved.

I'd use traceview to be sure that there aren't any methods blocking your draw calls. http://tools.android.com/tips/traceview

This should help you determine what's being invoked instead of the onDraw method.
