title: Is it possible to declare an 1-bit variable in Java?
body: <p>My algorithm use a huge array of <code>boolean</code>, and as I was taught, it take 1 byte for each boolean variable. Is there anyway to declare a boolean array and reduce the memory usage, because I'm working on phone environment.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: My friend and I are discussing if BitSet is slower than normal Boolean array. Please clarify this. The algorithm still needs performance as best demand.</p>
