mentions and GitHub issues in connection with my open source libraries. So I
thought I would set out what my plan is for them in the future, and the order in
which I'll be tackling the backlog.
ActionBar-PullToRefresh
The library which is taking up the majority of my personal dev time at the
moment before it hits v1.0. I've done this library a bit differently that my
previous ones as I've developed it in the open, whereas Over the past few weeks I've been updating ActionBar-PullToRefresh
[http://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh] for the release of v0.7,
but have been a bit blocked on publishing the library as an Android Archive
(aar) to Maven Central [http://search.maven.org/]. It was the number one
issue/request that I received, and while I had a working local Gradle build I
could not find an easy way to publish the results.
There a few solutions out there but nothing really definitive. The main

production use. Well today I tagged and push v0.4 of the project, which adds the
main missing feature: automatically styling based on your Action Bar style.
First of all here's a video of how it works:

project (Friendcaster). Since then I’ve kept maintaining the project, pushing it
forward and adding new features.
Well today I’m stopping development. There are two reasons for this, the first
is that it is feature complete. The second reason is that the volume of ‘issues’
I get is taking up too much of my time.
At the end of the day, it’s open source. If you want something added or fixed,
you have the source to do so.A while ago I wrote Android-BitmapMemoryCache, a cache based off of LruCache
which would cache Android Bitmap objects in memory in a clever way. You can get
the full details from this earlier post
[http://www.senab.co.uk/2012/07/01/android-bitmap-caching-revisited/], but the
bottom line is that it knew when a Bitmap was no longer being used, and so would
recycle it.
I left it like that the past 5 months and I knew it worked. I was aware though,
that developers were looking for something a littl
