Using MemoryMode

Using MemoryMode to improve UX¶

Your screen may contain many Videos at a time, and preload Videos forward so they can start as soon as possible is a legit requirement. In practice, preloading Videos consumes a lot of system resource like memory, network and power. To address this need in proper way, Kohii provides a special control flag called MemoryMode. The idea behinds MemoryMode is as below:

• The idea is to allow Kohii to preload around Video of interest¹. When the Video of interest is playing, at the same time Kohii will prepare the closet Videos around it: the first on top, the first below, the first to the left and/or the first to the right, and the second closet Videos, etc ...

• To control the maxinum number of Videos to prepare, Kohiii needs client to explixitly define this (with a default behavior to be automatic).

MemoryMode is the information client uses to define this behavior. To use it, you need to update the code as below:

- kohii.register(this)
+ kohii.register(this, MemoryMode.BALANCED)

While allowing client to define this behavior, Kohii will strictly observe system memory status, and will override that behavior on demand to prevent your app from behaving unexpectedly.
