String, there are no leaks around bitmaps in the platform. It is just that, unfortunately, the current GC takes a few passes to reclaim the native memory because of the use of finalizers. Android 2.3 attempts to reclaim bitmaps faster, and in Android 3.0 we moved the bitmap storage to the Dalvik heap to avoid having to wait for finalizers to run. If bitmaps truly leaked, they would never get reclaimed, which is not the case.
