Loading images onto ImageView in xml takes more memory?

I Have an Activity with around 7 imageviews(just like the app tray in any android phone.)

I am loading the images for each of the imageviews in the xml. Does this cause OutOfMemoryError?

Is there a way to recycle these?

    Yes it is possible to attach drawable images to ImageView and you can remove them when you need.

    imageview.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.image);
                    or    
    imageview.setImageDrawable(drawable);
    

    It does not cause any out of memory issue. Link to Doc
