John, I was commenting on the exception you mentioned in your original email:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime( 405): java.lang.RuntimeException: Canvas: trying to use a recycled bitmap android.graphics.bit...@44f4c150 Running out of memory, which is what is mentioned in the bug you referred to, is a different issue. Having the PNGs in the right density folders does indeed help because you avoid having the system scale them and increase their size in memory. However, the exception message that mentions a recycled bitmap is caused by trying to draw a bitmap on which you called recycle() (I was indeed a bit hasty in my email, it's not caused by calling recycle() twice.) The problem you were running into is that drawables share the same bitmap when loaded from resources. If you recycle that bitmap, it will be reused by the system next time you use a drawable that comes from the same resource.
