10 Ways To Improve Your Android App Performance
summary
Lists the real fixes not slogans: avoid activity leaks (remove static refs, unregister listeners, prefer static inner Handlers with weak refs), keep heavy IO off the UI thread — use UI thread only for UI — and prefer battle‑tested libraries (OkHttp Retrofit Glide Picasso Fresco) over homegrown code. Watch JSON size (200–500k marks a shift to specialized parsers) and the Dex method limit. Mentions an Android executable browser that inspects APK method counts and dependency provenance so you can see what actually inflates the build.
