Typical notification image: 1920×1080 ARGB_8888
Memory usage: 1920 × 1080 × 4 bytes = 8.3 MB per notification

Scenario: User receives 5 notifications
Memory consumed: 5 × 8.3 MB = 41.5 MB
Available heap (typical device): 192 MB
Percentage consumed: 21.6% by notifications alone!

// ❌ CRITICAL: Loading full-size image then scaling on UI thread

    // - Bitmap profileImage (~500KB)
    // - String data (~2KB)
    // Total per user: ~502KB

    // 100 users = 50MB leaked permanently!
}

Static field lifecycle = Application lifecycle
App starts → List created → Data added → Never cleared → App dies

Scenario:
Day 1: User views 50 care providers → ToUserList = 50 items (25MB)
Day 2: User views 50 different providers → ToUserList = 100 items (50MB)
Day 3: User views 50 more → ToUserList = 150 items (75MB)

Result: OutOfMemoryError after 3-4 days of usage

Scenario: User receives notification with image

Fast WiFi (10 Mbps):
  - Download 200KB image: 0.16 seconds

  - Total delay: 0.21 seconds ✅ Acceptable

Slow 3G (250 Kbps):

  - Total delay: 6.45 seconds ❌ Poor UX

Profile picture (256×256):

List of 50 providers:

  - CPU usage: 85-95%

  - Temperature: 45°C → thermal throttling

Before fix:
  - Memory after 1 call: +40MB
  - Memory after 3 calls: +120MB
  - Memory after 5 calls: OutOfMemoryError

After fix:
  - Memory after 1 call: +2MB (expected)
  - Memory after 3 calls: +2MB (stable)
  - Memory after 100 calls: +2MB (no leaks!)

// Querying without indexes
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(

// Table structure:
CREATE TABLE chat_messages (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    session_id TEXT, -- ❌ No index!
    sender_id TEXT,
    message TEXT,
    timestamp INTEGER, -- ❌ No index!
    ...
);

Table size: 10,000 messages
Query: SELECT WHERE session_id = '12345'

Without index:
  - Full table scan: 10,000 rows examined
  - Query time: 800ms - 1.2s
  - UI freeze: Janky scrolling

With index on session_id:
  - Index seek: ~100 rows examined
  - Query time: 8-15ms
  - UI: Smooth scrolling

Performance improvement: 100× faster!

-- ✅ Add indexes
CREATE INDEX idx_chat_session 
  ON chat_messages(session_id);

CREATE INDEX idx_chat_timestamp 
  ON chat_messages(timestamp DESC);

CREATE INDEX idx_chat_session_timestamp 
  ON chat_messages(session_id, timestamp DESC);
  -- Composite index for common query pattern
