February 22, 2016029: All about the infamous 65,536 dex method count
If you've been an Android developer in the last 2 years, you must have seen this dreaded exception: dex: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536
Quick googling would immediately bring up the phrase "65K method count" and the recommended solution "multi-dexing". But if you want to really understand this mysterious number and the reason behind its existence, listen on!

December 28, 2015025: Effective Java for Android developers : Item 7
In this mini Fragment, we introduce Joshua's seventh Item and a momentous end to the first chapter: Avoid finalizers
Stay tuned for more items from our "Effective Java for Android developers" Fragment series.
Show Notes
Effective Java (2nd Edition) - Joshua Bloch
Avoid finalizers
If you don't know what they are, ignorance is bliss. If you know what they are, avoid them!
Finalizers in Java != destructors in C++ (C++ counterparts to constructors).
In C++ destructors
you reclaim resources here (Java has GC)
you also reclaim non-memory resources (use the try-finally block in Java)
(unpredicatable amt of time between object becoming unreachable and finalizer being executed) Never do anything time critical in finalizer!
System.gc + System.runFinalization increase chances - no guarantee
System.runFinalizersOnExit + Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit are the ones that do - but they are fatally flawed
Java 7 has try with resources, which is also interesting and auto-closeables. [Android] devs can only dream of these.
If an uncaught exception is thrown in a finalizer, it is ignored, and the finalization abruptly terminates.
Severe performance penalty for using finalizers - (one e.g.) time to create and destroy simple object goes from 5.6ns -> 2400ns
Only valid use: as a safety net or to terminate noncritical native resources.
[Android] you're probably better off using Android's lifecycle methods.
