Android Application Development Tutorial - 173 - ShortBuffer to handle Indices

First, thank you for your tutorials! You're doing a great job. Your pacing is perfect for the beginner, trying to understand new concepts. I am amazed and appreciative.

I don't think nativeOrder() is about garbage collecting. It's about making sure that the most significant bytes of the numbers (floats, shorts, etc.) are in the right place. Some machines use Big Endian, some use Little Endian--mixing the two up can really screw your numbers up (eg: turning a short 0x0001 into 0x0100).
