That sounds wrong to me. Unless you have a really, really complex UI. > And the data which comes from the server is stored in memory arrays for logical representation on UI (As well as database)and it takes 6 mb of the memory If you have a local database you should be able to engineer your app to fetch data using queries as required for display, rather than loading monolithic arrays. > have two seperate applications , one of which will fetch the data from the server and keep it in memory as well as database and another App will be used for showing the UI and it will do an inter Application communication to fetch the data and display it on the UI in this App. Whether or not this is possible, this sounds awful from a user-experience point of view. I'd rethink your design. In my view, given the scale constraints imposed by an Android device (screen, input, memory) 16MB ought to be enough for anybody.
