Thnx for replying SOB.. I found I was using all Animation objects like that and I changed it.
Later, still I found it was crashing at one particular line.. It might be helpful for developers so here it is.. ==========BEFORE=============== I set a different background at runtime.. like this.. (Its a 320 x 480 image) view.setBackgroundResource(R.id.mybgid); ===========NOW============== Now I removed that line and do this.. Bitmap lastbg = null; (this is on top only) if (lastbg != null) lastbg.recycle(); Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.DecodeResource(.....as req.....); BitmapDrawable bd = new BitmapDrawable(b); view.setBackgroundDrawable(bd); Now the final result.. My application still crashes, but the crash frequency has reduced to 25% Now I am sorry, but Some Android Engineers from Google were stubborn telling that BitmapFactory and settings image resources never leak memory.. But in my personal experience, I found When I load sprites for each level, initially after the level is over, I did not recycle() and then it crashed frequently.. later I did that at the end of each level and crash frequency dropped a lottt.. I even tried System.gc() in lot of places... Guys have to understand.. we use JAVA !!! not C++... we dont have delete operators.. or free ()... how the, am I supposed clear memory... Please GC better for images.. Moreover through my application I have a lot of imageview for which I change their Image on touch event ACTION_DOWN like this... imgbtn.setImageResource(R.drawable.mouse_down_sprite); Does all this leak little amounts of memory ?? Can someone tell me how to change this discussions subject ?
