title: byte data type memory size in Android
body: <p>I read that byte data type takes up smaller amount of memory compared to integer data type in JVM.
  But, I am curious whether the statement above also works for Android Dalvik VM. Is it correct that using byte instead of integer in Android will improve efficiency ?</p>
  
  <p>FYI, currently i am using an array which stores hundred-thousands of int, but the integer only fluctuates between 0-10. So I'm considering changing it to byte if it can improve the performance of my program.</p>
  
  <p>My apologies if my question sounds stupid since I'm new to Java.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
