title: Tips for lightweight Android Applications
body: <p>I am starting to develop Android applications and I would like to know if there are any tips for creating lightweight applications. This is my first attempt to write applications on a mobile platform but I hope that my experience in programming will help.</p>
  
  <p>I have in mind the "Better, Faster, Lighter Java" book, but will this be "the" answer to my question? Are there any tips specific for the Android Platform that will allow me to build lightweight applications?</p>
