but what if it's an animation? i got high ram issues using imageview, fixed the problem by replacing imageview with Label ....
Can't you set an animated image to a label?
I don't have a clue on what you are doing. As I already told you multiple times, you shouldn't invent the wheel.
There is no reason that ImageView will be slower than label.
I don't know what is high ram. In 95% of the cases it turns out to be a developer who doesn't understand how the garbage collector works.
