Custom view to draw bitmap along path, calculate in background thread

Last post show a example of "Custom view to draw bitmap along path", with calculation run inside onDraw(). It's modified version to pre-calculate in back thread.


(remark: in last post, canvas.drawPath() is called inside onDraw(). It seem run very slow, removed in this example.)

Modify AnimationView.java

        initAnimationView();
    }

    public AnimationView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
        initAnimationView();
    }

    private void initAnimationView(){
        animationThingsList = new ArrayList<>();
    }

    public void insertThing(AnimationThing thing){
        animationThingsList.add(thing);
    }

    //prepare calculation in background thread
    public void preDraw(){
        for (AnimationThing thing : animationThingsList){
            if(thing.distance < thing.pathLength){
                thing.pathMeasure.getPosTan(thing.distance, thing.pos, thing.tan);

                thing.matrix.reset();
                float degrees = (float)(Math.atan2(thing.tan[1], 
                        thing.tan[0])*180.0/Math.PI);
                thing.matrix.postRotate(degrees, thing.bm_offsetX, thing.bm_offsetY);
                thing.matrix.postTranslate(thing.pos[0]-thing.bm_offsetX, 
                        thing.pos[1]-thing.bm_offsetY);

                thing.distance += thing.step;
            }else{
