    <blockquote> <p>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> </blockquote> <p>As per the doc <a href="http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/process-bitmap.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>,</p> <blockquote> <p>The BitmapFactory.decode* methods, discussed in the Load Large Bitmaps Efficiently lesson, should not be executed on the main UI thread if the source data is read from disk or a network location (or really any source other than memory). The time this data takes to load is unpredictable and depends on a variety of factors (speed of reading from disk or network, size of image, power of CPU, etc.). If one of these tasks blocks the UI thread, the system flags your application as non-responsive and the user has the option of closing it (see Designing for Responsiveness for more information).</p> </blockquote> <p>So you can use a seperate thread to load resources on above mentioned conditions.</p> <p>I think it depends on your needs and the size and number of resource and even if there are some other things to consider. For an instance, if you don't want your app user to navigate to the next screen until all your resources are loaded then using a thread may be helpful.</p> <p>Garbage collection works in daemon thread. The daemon thread runs in the background. Garbage collection comes into action when object becomes eligible for garbage collection i.e, when there are no live reference available or when memory becomes too low. Use this <a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2009/02/track-memory-allocations.html" rel="nofollow">link</a> to get to know about using tracking memory allocations and how to avoid frequent garbage collection to happen.</p>

    1. COThis is a great answer. Based on that documentation you are clearly supposed to use decode bitmap on a background thread. The other link is great for explaining the GC pitfalls in Java (I'm a C++ programmer by day so GC is a bit unfamilar and takes getting used to). I hereby promise to not allocate short lived objects in my game thread. I suppose I could also request the system perform GC at times tat I know are convient for me, like when a loading screen comes up. Thanks JJPA!

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.
