Question

I am getting image from assets and assigning to imageView, everything works fine but when I see heap memory size it keeps on growing when I load the same page again and again, Below is the code what I am using to get Image from assets folder.

private Bitmap getBitmapFromAsset(String strName) throws IOException
{
    AssetManager assetManager = getAssets();

    InputStream istr = assetManager.open(strName);
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(istr);

    return bitmap;
}

    //Code to assign bitmap to imageview
    ImageView itemImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.itemImage);
    try {
        Bitmap bm = getBitmapFromAsset("full/" + Uri.parse(menuItem.getFullImage()).getLastPathSegment());
        itemImage.setImageBitmap(bm);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

This is all what I am doing, is there any where I need to recycle the bitmap?

Answer 1

Actually I am using a parent activity which is extended by all activities and that activity is registered with LocationListener, so LocationListener is preventing the activity from destroying.
