Thankfully, now as experts, we get to throw out AsyncTask and Loaders because they were terrible and so they are now deprecated.

Any body have any idea about what the maximum size of your app should be for example if you are adding videos within your app, what should be the size of each video and the total size of the whole app. thanks any help would be appreciated thanks

@retomeier It would be also generous of you if you can provide us with a TH-cam app that cashes selected videos for watching in offline mode, you can also be clever and use the external SD card and not the internal for that purpose.

[@tanimreja1165]
