Hey Jonathan, > A few clarifying comments to Yahel
Sorry, my answer was not really meant at you directly, more to the original poster :) Your app seems successful and to work the way you want so I wouldn't dare tell I can do best :D > I guess it depends what the items are, but in my particular tree 95% of > the lists are quite short and being sortabel should help a lot to get > the particular PART of the list you are after. Still, even if it was a single letter or numbers, 1 000 entries is just too much on a 3.2'' screen and for the resources of a mobile device. I strongly believe developers are here to take decisions on behalf of their users. If your users can try to call for 30 000 entries and generate a OOM then you are not doing your job. And since I'm mean and everything I'm going to the market right now to download your app and asks for the 30 000 items and then post a "your app sucks"/One star rating :D I'm just kidding I wouldn't do that :D > No need for Flurry&CO - it is trivial to see in the web service log. And so what is the result ? How many of your users scroll down the 500 item mark ? What is your app by the way ?
