Hi Mike, Is it safe to cache a Handler (in a static variable)? Some objects, such as Activities or Drawables, are not safe to cache statically and share amongst multiple activity-instances due to possible memory leaks (memory referencing to destroyed activities that doesn't get cleaned up in a timely manner).
