I am doing this as well. I still get the out of memory errors. Here's my setup -
1. I create a "main menu activity" that shows an introductory screen. There's a big START button on that screen. When pressed, it opens a second activity with the camera preview SurfaceView on it. 2. When the second view is opened and closed repeatedly, I get out of memory errors. I'm handling this condition gracefully, retrying when it happens, which at least causes the application to not crash and allows me to manage application state. But, it's just a workaround. Any other thoughts as to why this happens? Richard Schilling Root Wireless On Jul 19, 11:45 pm, elixir <[email protected]> wrote: > I ran in to this issue too.
