I have something like this:
Bitmap.Config conf = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
WeakReference<Bitmap> bm = new WeakReference<Bitmap>(Bitmap.createBitmap(3000 + 3000, 2000, conf));
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm.get());
canvas.drawBitmap(firstBitmap, 0, 0, null);
canvas.drawBitmap(bm, firstBitmap.getWidth(), 0, null);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bm);
And I apply this on more than 10 imageView's which are created one by one. Whenever I create new ImageView, I want to recycle the 'bm' object from the first one, cause this code up there, causes my heap to grow more and more and then throw OutOfMemoryError, so I do:
bm.recycle()
right after I set the Bitmap (bm) to the imageView object. This causes exception that the ImageView's canvas wants to draw recycled Bitmap.
What is the way to recycle a Bitmap that has already been put as image on ImageView?
Thanksb
