Hi
I'm trying to track down memory leaks in my application. It seems the
total amount of memory the app really needs is perhaps around 3MB
(Maximum, on average it's around 2.1MB). There's only one activity in
the whole app which uses max amount of memory.
However, every time I switch from that activity back to the main entry-
point activity (which shows the user an index of available options),
it seems the previous activity was not garbage collected. I have the
following concerns:
1. I'm not sure if this is because I've kept a reference to some
global resource in the previous activity that it's not being collected
3. I'm not sure if this is how Android works, i.e. GC on activities
are delayed.
I'm using a lot of drawables (included as assets and resource) in the
other memory-hogging activity. Am I supposed to 'reset' the views
somehow in order to remove the reference to these globally accessible
resources? I'm also reading a number of files from the SD Card (saved/
created in a separate activity).
Or am I supposed to somehow ensure that the activity is 'killed' in a
way? In order to get back to the main Index (from which the user
navigates to the other activity), I'm simply calling startActivity(new
Intent("com.blah.MAININDEX"));
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm not sure if I completely
understand how references are incremented and decremented for a given
view in Android.
Thanks
