I have a problem with my Live Wallpaper app. It has a settings button where the user can change the background image (and a couple of more things). I store information as shared preferences (see the Live Wallpaper tutorial).
After starting it the memory allocated by the app is constant and doesn't seem unreasonably high. But then if I open up the Live Wallpaper picker again, picks my wallpaper and then either sets the wallpaper again, or hits home/back to cancel, the memory usage has increased. This can be repeated several times and the used memory keeps increasing. Same thing happens if I have a solid background color instead of an image, but the memory increases with less. I've made sure that I don't load the same image twice (if the user selects the same image again I don't load anything). I also tried recycling the old image before loading the new one. I use BitmapFactory.decodeFile to read the file from the SD-card. But since the same thing happens without an image I guess it might not be that anyway. I've also made sure to set objects to null when done with them, but that doesn't make a difference. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Have any tips what I can look for? I tried the DDMS tool to track allocations, but nothing stood out. Any help to find the source of this problem is greatly appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
