Laggish mobile browser

Post by saviour » Tue Feb 18, 2014 8:25 am

Dear All,

Finally I am able to create a simple mobile app which has some buttons that open designated websites. :D

Until I learned, Livecode has two web options-either open web in native browser separately or use "revbrowser/Mobile Browser" that open web inside application. Comparing both, I found second options "mobile browser" is slow or laggish. Opening website url is fine but I found it is slow/laggy when you have to browser inside the websites.

Is there any way that I can make it faster like cache management or any other way??? Please help.

Hi saviour,
How big are the sites, like Amazon size or small company?
Do you think you can get your head around downloading the images to the "documents" folder? You could store them and grab them locally.

I haven't done lots of mobile browser speed testing so I can't help you with that.

Saviour...

Post the code that you are using to create your browser... I use UIWebView - Browser control a lot, both on phones and tablets and have found them to be fine...Amazon,Ebay,Facebook don't have any problems
