Hello, and my apologies if this topic has been covered (I didn't find anything from a handful of searches on Android Beginners!). I read in the "Designing for Performance" guide that: "An array of ints is a much better than an array of Integers, but this also generalizes to the fact that two parallel arrays of ints are also a lot more efficient than an array of (int,int) objects. The same goes for any combination of primitive types."
Which makes sense to me. However, in my particular project, I receive a JSON object (hash) of data from the web, and need to display this data on an Android phone in key-sorted order. In this case, I can't think of an easy way to maintain parallelism between the two arrays while sorting the keys alphabetically. I could reinvent the wheel and write a search which modifies both arrays at once I guess, but that sets off red flags for me that there must be a better way. Should I just take the hit and implement this as a single array of (String, int) (aka key, value) objects? Is there a way that I can somehow sort the keys prior to building my array from the JSON hash object? Any ideas or input would be much appreciated! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
