App speed

[sarah_77]

Hi! I've created a simple app (Sencha Touch + PhoneGap) but it seems very slow: when I tap on a button, there is a delay before show response. Why this??

It depends on what your app is doing

Now it's very simple... show records imported.... but when I tap on top or bottom buttons... I show delay before show action.

I think what you're experiencing is the delay the browser adds before registering a button click/tap event. Try using the "touchstart" event instead of "tap", and see if the delay is gone. Of course, it will screw up your scrolling, so you'll have to implement something like what Google has with their mobile gtalk app.

We've been able to speed up button tapping significantly since the last release, B3 shows much improved performance there

Glad to hear that, edspencer! You guys save us from a lot of coding with every release.
