I respectfully disagree, though part of the issue could be terminology, what you consider a leak. I understand your explanation about the GC requiring multiple passes, but to my mind, if calling system.gc() doesn't reclaim unused memory, that's a leak. According to the docs, I shouldn't need to call it at all. Can you tell us how many calls are required to reclaim the memory from a no-longer-used bitmap?
I am also certain that I've seen specific cases where the memory cannot be reclaimed at all - mostly involving BitmapDrawables - but I haven't had time to put together a minimal test case. Nonetheless, the news that this has been reworked for Gingerbread/Honeycomb is very good. :^) String -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
