How to reduce delay when setting large amount of text in textView under android?

Question

Android

Hello. I am new to android development. I am making a program for reading books (for myself). I use a TextView to display the text of the book. It is confusing that when the setText method is called, the program thinks for a while (not critical, but longer than we would like). What are the ways to solve this problem? Maybe not a TextView is used for this at all?

Answer 1

1) Insert only a piece of text. When flipping (custom), insert the next part
2) write your own component, but in fact it will do what I wrote above
3) It seems that there was a component for large text, but alas, I don’t remember, try to google something like andoid component book reader.
