    <p>I asked a lead in to this question <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14472124/in-android-can-you-load-resources-outside-the-ui-thread">here</a>. I want to know if it is recommended to read the android resources (in the res) folder on the ui-thread or on the game thread for a simple game (based off the lunar lander sample). I see in lunar lander that they allocate resources before starting the game loop. However that doesn't scale up very well if there are lots of resources. The answer to my previous question says that it is ok to read resources like bitmaps on the background thread. Now I want to know if this is the correct way to do things.</p> <p>An alternate architecture would be to post a Runnable to the ui-thread from time to time and allocate resources then.</p> <p>Does garbage collection come into play? I wasn't sure which thread GC runs on. But my guess is that it runs on the thread on which the object was allocated.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
