App slow to load with API34

Dictionary App Builder
1

I’m helping someone with a dictionary app which has suddenly started loading slowly after they upgraded the app to API34. It used to take 3-4sec to load but is now taking around 25sec. The dictionary has about 3,900 entries and around 3,000 mp3 audio files.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Is it possible to setup debugging in Android Studio to trace the problem?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I don’t know much about DAB, but it could be something to do with how the audio is stored and accessed. Do you have the latest version? 12.4? I would try that.
Blessings,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am using 12.4 but will try rebuilding the app and see what happens.

Hi Peter. 12.5 just came out so it might be worth trying that.

Thanks Andrew, I’ll try it out.

How are your audio files stored? Are they in the APK itself or accessed online?

They are stored in the APK itself. I’ve been working on other projects and haven’t had a chance to test the new version of DAB yet.

Thanks,
