We in Naukri.com always keep memory usage in mind while developing android applications and keep on regularly checking the memory usage of different pages. We added memory usage in our checklist before releasing any new version because racking down the android memory issue (OOM) is one of the pain full task of every android developer. OOM errors often seen on tools like Criticism or Crashlytics make developers run for the solution and finally doomed with fuzzy answers. Mobile devices typically have constrained system resources so we have to be cautious while loading the media files. The... Read More
