Mastering OpenCV Android Application Programming

Best practices

A mobile platform is not as powerful as a personal computer and hence requires developers to be extra cautious while building applications for mobile devices. A badly written code can make your application sluggish, hence, it is very important to write the code while keeping in mind the resource constraints of a mobile device, such as limited RAM, limited processing capabilities, and small cache size.

Here are a list of things that can affect an application's performance and should be taken care of while building an application:

• Memory leaks: It is important to manage variables in the code properly. Because most of the code is written in Java, the developers need not spend much time on handling memory, as Java does this explicitly. ...
