  1. As per android architecture there is no such limit to store data in SharedPreference. Better way is to database (SQLite) when you have to deal with huge amount of data

  2. I read somewhere that there is no hard limit other than Integer.MAX_VALUE ( maximal string length). But it is not advisable to store that much on shared preferences, as this is XML file which must be parsed and you will have a problems while parsing it.

    I used to store about 50-100KBytes there. It worked.

I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
