title: Android: Enable hardware acceleration
body: <p>I want my animations in android 4.0 is very slow and lacks. So I want to enable hardware acceleration and have tried to do what <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a> page says but with no luck.</p>
  
  <p>You can see my manifest here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;manifest android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0"
      package="com.jws.battleship" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
      &lt;uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/&gt;
      &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/&gt;
      &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/&gt;
      &lt;application 
          android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
          android:label="@string/app_name" 
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
          android:hardwareAccelerated="true"&gt;
          &lt;activity 
              android:label="@string/app_name" 
              android:name=".HomeActivity"
              android:hardwareAccelerated="true"&gt;
              &lt;intent-filter&gt;
                  &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/&gt;
                  &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
          &lt;/activity&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".UserPreferences"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".BattleActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".HighScoreActivity"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".StoreActivity"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".JoinBattle"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".CreateBattleActivity"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".FriendList"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".FriendListActivity"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".SelectNetworkActivity"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".BluetoothDevicesListActivity"/&gt;
          &lt;activity android:name=".NetworkFactoryActivity"/&gt;
      &lt;/application&gt;
  &lt;/manifest&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then test if it has enabled hardware acceleration in onCreate() like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ListView list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.home_list_active_games);
  Boolean test = list.isHardwareAccelerated();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it always returns false!? Do I need to add some kind of permission or what is wrong here?</p>
  
  <p>BR</p>
