Abstract
A user interface (UI) is displayed on a display coupled to an electronic device. The UI includes a first area of the UI visible on the display. A non-visible UI element corresponding to a second area of the UI that may be displayed in response to a user input on the electronic device is determined. An image of the non-visible UI element is drawn into a tile in a tile layer that provides a non-visible representation of views associated with the UI, the tile layer stored in a temporary memory area. The image drawn into the tile in the tile layer is compressed. In response to a user input on the electronic device, a representation of the second area of the UI is displayed on the display including the compressed image.
