btw the in-memory size is much bigger than the size of the file. that
4k is the jpeg-compressed file size, in memory it would be 100x100x4
(32-bit colour) = 40k at least.
but i would think you should be able to hold 10x 40k without any
problems, so maybe something else is sucking a lot of memory.
Thanks Jason-
In my case the application needs to show all 12 images at the same
size. I could switch to a listview but that will degrade the user
experience.
I have also been thinking about switching to a webview that loads a
static HTML page containing all 12 thumbnails. Seems silly, but if I
can't beat my memory issues the I'll use it as a last resort.
I checked out the thumbnails, they're already sized to 100x100 jpgs of
roughly 4k in size, seems like I should be able to hold them in memory
4x12 = 48k, so there must be something else going on.

do all the thumbnails have to be on the screen at once? if not,
consider keeping the images as their compressed equivalents (JPEG
byte arrays, etc), then use a ListView as it will recycle views
that's not currently visible, allowing you to inflate JPEGs into
Bitmaps and then throw the Bitmaps away appropriately.
i have ListViews which have thumbnails, and i use this scheme with no
memory problems at all.
...and whether you have to display them all at once or not, consider
using BitmapFactory decoding options to resample the images to a
better size. maybe the images coming in are much bigger than the
thumbnail view needs them to be?
