Memory usage

[BraunreutherA]

Hi I don't know why but it seams that the library adds a huge amount of memory usage. As soon as I changed to the CompositeActivity the memory usage increased by 80mb.
I'm not very experienced with the memory analytics tool of android studio but I try to figure out what's the problem. If you're interested I can share you more details private.

Every method call on Activity creates a anonymous class internally. getApplicationInfo() and getResources() are called multiple thousands times when an Activity starts, creating multiple thousands inner classes. Garbage collection should have no problem with those objects. At least on ART it shouldn't be one. If you experience something different, it's a real problem.

I'm already addressing this "problem" in #24 and it should increase the overall memory consumption once merged.

I get the following error:

E/AndroidRuntime: Error reporting crash

I'm using a lot of images and videos in my app as it's an video player per se. I don't know if the problem is due to my code or the lib, but it just doesn't work as long as I'm using the CompositeActivity

The problem seams to be in the mosby plugin I wrote. As soon as I disabled it the memory usage goes back to normal and the error disappears.
I will investigate further and report back.

Okay, it was a problem with the mosby plugin. I failed with the onRetainCustomConfigurationInstance()now it works.
