In the latest Maps-App sample, mMapView object is declared as a static variable. But I havent seen this in their Arcgis android samples. Is it a good practice to declare MapView objects as static?
Although I have not seen memory issues in the app, I have made the change to the maps-app by removing the static qualifier as it is not the recommended pattern for MapView.
