I have 4 Map Screens in a Stack Manager that lets my users see their current location as they complete tasks. After they complete a task, it sends them to the next maps screen, until that task is complete. There is sometimes a significant amount of lag (10 seconds) from one maps screen to another. While the app is reloading their current location, I have implemented an ActivityIndicator that will run until the function mounts. The function then unmounts when they navigate away and triggers a mounting for the next page where it loads their current location, and repeat. Is there a way to speed up this process and make the maps load faster?
Edit: Up to this point, I have turned off trackViewChanges. I am currently using an icon, and not an image for my custom marker. I tried running in development mode to see if it would run faster (based on some reports that it would) but it did not effect its render ability.
Edit 2: Here is some of the code I use to generate the user's current location.
function Screen({navigation}) {
const [user_latitude, setUserLatitude] = useState(0)
const [user_longitude, setUserLongitude] = useState(0)
const [position_error, setPositionError] = useState(null)
const [ isLoading, setIsLoading ] = useState(true)
const [ location, setLocation ] = useState(null);
const renderLoading = () => {
if (isLoading) {
return (
<View style = {{flex:1, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center', backgroundColor: '#d3d3d3', height: height*0.75, width: width}}>
<ActivityIndicator
color = 'black'
size = 'large'
animated = {false}
/>
<Text style = { styles.text }>{i18n.t('')}</Text>
</View>
);
}else {
return null;
}
}
useFocusEffect(
React.useCallback(()=> {
let isActive = true;
const fetchGeoPosition = () => {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
position => {
if (isActive){
setUserLatitude(position.coords.latitude);
setUserLongitude(position.coords.longitude);
setPositionError(null);
console.log('Location Accessed')
}
setIsLoading(false)
},
error => isActive && setPositionError(error.message),
{enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 0, maximumAge: 1000}
);
}
const permission_get = async () => {
if (Platform.OS === 'android' && !Constants.isDevice) {
setErrorMsg(
'Oops, this will not work on Snack in an Android emulator. Try it on your device!'
);
return;
}
let { status } = await Location.requestPermissionsAsync();
if (status !== 'granted') {
setErrorMsg('Permission to access location was denied');
console.log('Not permitted')
return;
}
let location = await Location.getCurrentPositionAsync({});
setLocation(location);
console.log('Permitted')
}
permission_get()
fetchGeoPosition()
return () =>{
isActive = false
console.log('Location Severed')
}
},
[],
),
)
if (!exercise.trim()){
return;
}
