Yeah, I'm pretty bad about that one. I keep forgetting StringBuffer/StringBuilder implement CharSequence and that lots of things take a CharSequence directly instead of a String. For example, you can hand a StringBuffer/StringBuilder to TextView#setText(). Also, allocate a big enough StringBuffer/StringBuilder at the outset, so it does not have to expand its internal buffer. Its initial capacity appears to be 16 characters, if I am reading the Android/Harmony source correctly. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Need help for your Android OSS project? http://wiki.andmob.org/hado --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
