Option to disable location tracking animation about mapbox-gl-native-android HOT 10 CLOSED

@jimmyjzemoso we have a similar feature coming, see mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#13942.

Hello,

What's happening with this issue? In our project location component animations put TREMENDOUS stress on CPU to the extent of abandoning LocationComponent and reinventing the wheel ourselves :(

My understanding from OP is that we're waiting for https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/issues/12752 to be added to our core rendering library, before being able to add the Android-side option. @LukasPaczos please correct me if I'm wrong.

This is correct @zugaldia.

@maxtracking as a stopgap solution, you can throttle the component's animation frames output via LocationComponent#setMaxAnimationFps as shown in mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#13678 or throttle the whole Map's FPS output when tracking the location via MapView#setMaximumFps. We've seen great results in our Navigation SDK after implementing both of the above.

Thanks a lot, @LukasPaczos, I'll certainly try the one for MapView. We had to switch to the custom layer for user's location anyway due to the complexity of linked layers but MapView fps are under scrutiny now :)

Hey @LukasPaczos I can see an expanding animation in Ios current location marker. Is it something that I can enable in android as well??

Hi! It would also be great to have an option to disable the location's rotation component animation or at least make its animation much faster. I'm using forceLocationUpdate with a bearing and the rotation indicator animation is much slower than the location update

Disabling location animation should work reliably without rendering artifacts when using

• LocationComponentActivationOptions#useSpecializedLocationLayer set to true
• LocationComponentOptions#trackingAnimationDurationMultiplier set to 0
