It seems that there my be a bug, memory leak with the BitmapFactory
when decoding, and reading bitmaps from file. I, and many other
developers have noticed similar problems to what you describe. I
haven't been able to get any official confirmation that this is a
known bug, but it looks like a bug to me. I have been able to mitigate
this problem in my code by using bitmap.recycle and object pooling,
but I have not been able to get rid of this problem entrirely.
