Strange Android memory consumption before even before first Activity starts

I observed a strange behavior of Android just before my app starts. It seems that a lot of memory is allocated even before my app starts doing something. The GC tells me that only 90% percent of the heap are free. And at the moment the app starts even before the "onCreate" of my first activity has been called the JVM has only 4% free memory left. What happend here, and how can I prevent this from happening, because with only 4% of 64MB heap left my app cant operate.

I ran this one in the emulator with API 21. But I also observed this behavior on older phones like the Samsung Galaxy S2. My release version of my app is 3.7MB in total. All assets are Full-HD. On newer phones there is no memory problem, only on older phones.

I want the user to pass my login requirement in order to sign in

I want the intent I have below to be passed only when the user has passed the login requirements. I tried to put an if statement, in the onClick Listener but it wasn't working out. Basically, once the username and password meets my requirements, I want to pass the intent. If the intent doesn't pass, then I want to pass an else statement saying "That user doesn't exist."

Your attemptLogin(); needs to be called within the else { } of your if.
Currently, it's being called before your if, so it will attempt to login even if your email or password fields are empty.
This was probably just an oversight on your part. If not, you might want to brush on Java by doing the exercises on the following web site. http://codingbat.com/java

Android TodoApp with ListView - list don't show up

I am writing a simple todo-app and working on the listView. Following the tutorial http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidListView/article.html#tutorial_ownadapter
My problem is that the list of todos don't show up in the listView. I get no exception or error that indicates it is not working.
I am working with the android sqlite database. When I start the activity, I write objects to the database and read them out, print them in log. So this part is working, you can see in the log.
Then I add the object to my own adapter and set the adapter to the listView.
I don't know what goes wrong. Here is my Project: https://github.com/Visores/de.fhb.android.todoapp/tree/master/MyTodoApp

Facebook login crash with no error (Parse.com) android

My app crashes when I am trying to login with parse.com facebook login. I tried to debug and found out that the code never gets the callback, here is the login code:
ParseFacebookUtils.logIn(thisActivity, new LogInCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseUser user, ParseException err) {
if (user == null) { // the code never gets here
Log.d("MyApp", "Uh oh. The user cancelled the Facebook login.");
} else if (user.isNew()) {
Log.d("MyApp", "User signed up and logged in through Facebook!");
} else {
Log.d("MyApp", "User logged in through Facebook!");
}
}
});
here is the logcat (couldn't find any error):

EDIT
*EDIT:*
I think I found the source of the problem, when I am trying to access the declaration of logIn of ParseFacebookUtils I am getting this page: Class File editor (the jar of this class file belongs to container 'android dependencies' which does not allow modification to source attachments on its entries.).
Also I have updated my parse sdk version from 1.2.4 to 1.3 by deleting the old sdk from libs and adding the new one with it's content (total of 4 files and folder).
Why the app crashes? why there is no error?? Thanks for any help.

Try to clear logcat/clear project and restart eclipse, sometimes thats the reason that no error is being shown up

The problem was with my Manifest (some wrong properties).

SSID vs BSSID: Connecting to Wifi via Android Programatically / Using WifiManager to connect to a network

I hear some developers are unable to connect to wifi when specifiying the SSID:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-developers/di4gMhC0ZTY
However other developers are connecting via the SSID:
How do I connect to a specific Wi-Fi network in Android programmatically?
Which method should be used?
I currently cannot connect.

P.S.
All I want to do is establish a connection to a specific wifi network. If anyone knows where to find a working copy of some source code which will do this which I can test - it may just resolve all my issues (the only post I've been able to find is the one shown above from S.O. and it isnt working)

You can try this way
conf.SSID = "\" + networkSSID + \""; //ssid must be in quotes
conf.wepKeys[0] = "\" + networkPass + \"";
