Hi there,

first of all, let me congratulate you for the excellent presentation of the relevant article

I fully copied the code from the site into Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1

(Build #AI-221.6008.13.2211.9477386, built on January 11, 2023
Runtime version: 11.0.15+0-b2043.56-8887301 amd64
VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o.
Windows 10 10.0
GC: G1 Young Generation, G1 Old Generation
Memory: 1280M
Cores: 6
Registry:
external.system.auto.import.disabled=true
ide.text.editor.with.preview.show.floating.toolbar=false

Non-Bundled Plugins:
com.developerphil.adbidea (1.6.8)
)

which works fine except for the appearance of the Place Picker (maybe I made a mistake somewhere).

But when running the application (app-debug.apk) the issue “eI/Counters: exceeded sample count in FrameTime” repeatedly appears in a loop.

. It is impossible for me to find a solution, so Ι ask kindly to help me.

I am attaching my (your) source code link.

Kind regards

Michael
