Use WebView.clearHistory() > Linearlayout ? Of course I'm using a lot, but I have no idea where I'm > forget to make it null. How can I find it?

Playing with that could change your memory usage drastically, but will also alter the way your app works. > > is anybody have any idea about it?

That could give you access to Android as well as other mobile platforms. I understand that you are saving some session data on the device (read articles, subscriptions, ...), but you could achieve that saving user sessions and preferences on the server side. Or you have to re-think and re-architect your app, if you come to conclusion that your app must be native. -- Daniel Drozdzewski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
