I have using this that I have read in other questions but I can´t solve it:
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
unbindDrawables(findViewById(R.id.RootView));
System.gc();
}
private void unbindDrawables(View view) {
if (view.getBackground() != null) {
view.getBackground().setCallback(null);
}
if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
unbindDrawables(((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i));
}
((ViewGroup) view).removeAllViews();
}
}
1. For dealing with Bitmap objects:
BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
options.inDither = false;
options.inPurgeable = true;
options.inInputShareable = true;
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
Also, you need to use
bitmap.recycle();
before you make your Bitmap instances null. This will help save memory.
2. For dealing with images in res/drawable:
android:largeHeap=“true” attribute to the application tag
in your project's manifest file.Note: One of the answers says that "This error will only be visible in logcat, it won't affect your application." So yes, that is entirely false. An OutOfMemoryError is a Java Error, even more pernicious than a RuntimeException. It will bring the app to its knees.
