You wrote: "Running these many times in my app loop" To me, the key word there is "many". If really do mean "many", then cache the Bitmap (or perhaps the Canvas) in a data member or local variable or something until you are outside your loop and no longer need it. If at that point you are not expecting to re-enter that loop for some time, null out the data member and let garbage collection reclaim the space. If you are likely to re-enter the loop soon and will need the exact same Bitmap again, you may as well hold onto it. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
