I am relatively new Android developer. I made a social gifting app using facebook api and
is not very heavy in terms of images and data. However, it displays e-gift cards using web view. I have improved its performance by implementing the following steps.

1: Using MVC pattern to construct activities.
2: Using image caching.
3: Using java’s URLConnection http calls rather than apache’s http client.
4: Using Drawable to fill colors rather than using images.
5: Making light REST backend calls specifically for mobile.

I was wondering if you guys can suggest simple, effective ways to improve the performance of an Android app.

    There are some great tools that come with the SDK/device to help you with this.

    • Keep your view hierarchy as shallow as possible Hierarchy Viewer is a great tool for this
    • Use TraceView to see what methods are taking the longest to execute
    • Optimize your code with Proguard
    • Use monkey and Strict mode to see if you have any long running processes on the main
    • Fix all lint errors and warnings
