Hi,

which hardware acceleration mode is recommended for an Air Android app?

I'm building a note taking app with Air 3.6  that is only vector based.

Thanks

Direct might be the best option. If you’re doing only regular 2D work it ought to only take as much GPU memory as the size of the screen. If you use GPU your longer notes could use up a lot of memory.

On the other hand, in Direct you will find that iPad Retina doesn’t scroll full stage images too smoothly, so if you’re hoping to do that, try GPU too.
