04-07 10:06:56.341 D/ActivityBase( 820): setContentView(v) aft memory: T:5767 - F:1167 (KB) ...(do some work, but certainly don't do any any monster allocations) ... 04-07 10:06:59.101 E/dalvikvm-heap( 820): 26840-byte external allocation too large for this process. 04-07 10:06:59.101 E/ ( 820): VM won't let us allocate 26840 bytes 04-07 10:06:59.161 D/AndroidRuntime( 820): Shutting down VM 04-07 10:06:59.161 W/dalvikvm( 820): threadid=3: thread exitin According to System.freeMemory I have 1.1 MB of heap right after setContentView(), and yet I can't allocate a lousy 26K 4 seconds later.
