hello group: I was trying to implement the recycle method for a class that we use a lot in the company that I work for. The thing is that for what I read in some posts, it was a good practice to recycle the bitmaps that were no longer needed and since I dont know where that could happen in every program I decided to execute the recycle method in the finalize method that executes the class that holds the reference to the bitmap. The thing is that my application is destroyed after the GC is executed. At first I thought that the recycle call caused the problem but I wrap it with a try / catch / Throwable and the problem remained. I also debugged my application trying to see if actually the recycle method was causing the problem but everytime the recycle was executed, it did without problems, and afterwards the application crashed.
Here is the finalize method @Override protected void finalize() throws Throwable { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.finalize(); System.out.println("FINALIZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"); try{ if(mBitmap!=null && !mBitmap.isRecycled()){ Thread.sleep(3000); mBitmap.recycle(); } }catch(Throwable e){ System.out.println(e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } } and here is the logcat output. Ill apreciate it any help you can give me. Thanks in advance.
