I am working on application which uses downloaded images from my application to display in the background. When I start application it works fine and load image without any problem. But after several restart application crashes with memory error. I use below method for get Drawable to show it in View. I have used one class and which having this static method I use it for all images. I also call one other static method for clear bitmap but don’t know it works or not. May be I do not able to clear memory when I close application.<\/p>\n

    public static void recycle_bitmap() {\n    if (myBitmap != null) {\n        myBitmap.recycle();\n        myBitmap = null;\n\n    }\n\n    }\n\n    static Bitmap myBitmap = null;\n\n    public static Drawable ImgDrawableFromFile(Resources res, String file_name) {\n\n    myBitmap=null;\n    File imgFile = new File(\"\/data\/data\/com.appstart\/app_my_sub_dir\/\"\n            + file_name + \".jpg\");\n    if (imgFile.exists()) {\n\n        myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath());\n        if (myBitmap != null)\n            return new BitmapDrawable(res, myBitmap);\n        else\n            return null;\n    }\n    return null;\n\n    }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
