I'm developing an android app that requires me to get some images from a server in order to display it in a scrollable pop-up once that pop-up is requested by the user, i'm trying to get all the images using universalImageLoader and storing them as a Bitmaps but when getting the images and also after i got all of it, i got infinite displaying of GC_FOR_ALLOC lines, and when pressing the button that displays the pop_up, the pop_up displayed normally but when begin to scroll down my app crashes and i got the following log messages:

And this is how i get the images:
ImageLoader loader = ImageLoader.getInstance();
public static Map<Integer, Bitmap> movies_bitmaps = new HashMap<Integer, Bitmap>();
loader.loadImage(url, new SimpleImageLoadingListener() {
@Override
public void onLoadingComplete(String imageUri, View view,
Bitmap loadedImage) {
try {
int size = loadedImage.getWidth()
* loadedImage.getHeight();
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(
size);
Bitmap modified_image = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(loadedImage, 180, 230, false);
modified_image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100,
stream);
movies_bitmaps.put(index, modified_image);
loadedImage.recycle();
stream.close();
modified_image = null;
stream = null;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Your code is going about doing nothing... first you create a ByteArrayOutputStream with the size equal to image width*height, which is wrong no matter how you look at it: if you were writing raw bitmap data it should be 4*width*height, but you are writing a compressed JPG, whose resultant size would not correlate with image width/height. Then you close and set the stream to null so nothing is accomplished. Then you call loadedImage.recycle() so loadedImage cannot ever be used again, but you put it in a Map with a clear intent to use it later...
Try removing loadedImage.recycle() and see if it helps, and read Android doc on Bitmap.recycle():
To answer some of your other questions in the comments:
so if that clearing the Bitmap, why the images were there then?
Per Android documenation:
This will not free the pixel data synchronously; it simply allows it to be garbage collected if there are no other references.
Basically it means if you called recycle(), subsequent behavior is undefined as far API is concerned. If memory serves, the behavior is different pre-Andorid 4.0 and post(including) Android 4.0, since they've moved the byte[] buffer backing a Bitmap from native memory space into VM managed memory space.
GC_FOR_ALLOC messages still there.
Because you are still creating lots of large objects, it's normal. If you want to reduce it, remove the ByteArrayOutputStream and associated code.
