For a single element, an "if" statement will be faster and more compact. Unless you're calling it thousands of times per second, it's not going to make a difference in performance. It's probably using about 20 more bytes of Dalvik bytecode than the equivalent "if", so unless you have a bunch of them the size won't matter either. Having all of the code look roughly the same may make it easier to understand and maintain. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
