Slight pause when pinch zooming in and out during tile loading

Description and/or steps/code to reproduce the problem

About the UX issue you mentioned: do you mean that the pinch gesture is smooth in itself but that you notice a break in the display of the tile every time the tile resolution changes (e.g. from 5.9 - which is tile 5 multiplied by 1.9 - to 6 - which is tile 6)?
What happens if you zoom in and out and in and out on the same location: do you still experience that little break?

Yes, it is exactly as you describe - the pinch zoom is smooth except for those little breaks when tiles from a higher resolution are loaded. It happens also when doing as you say, zooming in and out repeatedly in the same location. However, this does not happen on pinch zoom out - when pinch zooming out, the gesture is smooth all throughout the tile resolutions, tiles are replaced by lower resolution ones without any noticeable break.
But this is just a minor detail that is not of much importance.

Version of osmdroid the issue relates to:

6.0.0

I’m not seeing the pause by the way. I’m not sure what @monsieurtanuki did, but it’s amazingly smooth and fast. It’s like a whole new app!

I have exactly the same problem. Surprisingly, after so many years, the solution is still not explicitly indicated anywhere. Also, for some reason, the cache is deleted when I close the fragment. All tutorials are pretty old and no deprecated solutions are mentioned there.
