Android Widget inflate layout Performance and Memory <p>I have problem with my widget related to performance and memory:</p> <p><strong>Issue</strong>: My widget has a very complex, nested layout (Bitmap, layout ...), so to avoid inflating each time update, I plan to use <code>SoftReference</code> to hold the reference object of <code>RemoteViews</code> for the next update.</p> <p><strong>Question:</strong> So, I'm concerned about Performance(battery-usage) vs Memory in this scenario</p> <p>Does anyone have experience with this situation?</p> <p>I'd appreciate any advice that can be provided.</p> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p>P.S. I've also read the following, but it did not provide enough information: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4211149/performance-remoteviews-in-android">Performance RemoteViews in Android</a> </p>
