Introduction


How can we detect whether there will be any performance issues with our app? What are the common problems in Android apps? And how can we fix these issues?

When it comes to performance, a few problems that could occur are as follows:

  • Memory leaks: Although Android comes with its own memory management system, memory leaks may occur.

  • Out of memory exceptions: Your app could easily run out of memory, resulting in a crash of your app. For example, think of processing large images on low-end devices.

  • Overdraw: Overdraw is the phenomenon of a pixel on a view being drawn more than once. It can result in an unresponsive or laggy user interface.

In the upcoming recipes, we will examine the problems listed here. The Android SDK and Android Studio come with some great tools to examine your app.
