Based on the code there, you wouldn't have the chance to recycle the bitmap as you don't keep a handle to it anywhere.
Then again, if the ListView discards that particular row and you aren't retaining any handles to the bitmap, then the bitmap should be scheduled for collection by the GC. If you did try to retrieve the view that was holding the image from the ListView and it did return it to you, there is a good chance the ListView still wants to use it and you would not want to release the bitmap. Is there a reason you are wanting to try to recycle the bitmap? Also, we are talking about the recycle() function on bitmap and not reusing the same bitmap, correct?
