Hi
I need to free memory to show a large number of images
Here follow some samples I try to explain:
First example:
For i = 1 To 100
PROTOCOL_FASE.Bitmap = LoadBitmapSample(Path , filename, 1360dip, 690dip)
Next
With the above code about after 10 load images (same image) the program crash due to end of memory
Second example:
For i = 1 To 100
PROTOCOL_FASE.RemoveView
PANEL_PROTOCOL.addview(PROTOCOL_FASE,0dip,3dip,1360dip,690dip)
PROTOCOL_FASE.Initialize("")
PROTOCOL_FASE.Bitmap = LoadBitmapSample(Path, filename, 1360dip, 690dip)
Next
Same problem
Third example:
For i = 1 To 100
Dim LIMAGE As Bitmap
LIMAGE.Initialize(Path, filename)
PROTOCOL_FASE.Initialize("")
PROTOCOL_FASE.Bitmap = LIMAGE
Next
Same problem
There is a way to discard unused images, unload images or free up the memory?
I need to show (sequentially) about 100 images of 500Kb each.
Some suggestion?
1. The file size is (mostly) meaningless. The bitmap dimensions matters.
2. Unreferenced bitmaps are released automatically, however it will not happen immediately.
3. There is never a good reason to load 100 large images. You cannot show them at once anyway.
Thank you Erel.
My examples don't explain very well what I need: I need to show (sequentially 100 images). In the above examples the PROTOCOL_FASE is an imageview.
What is the best solution to show (sequentially and every second) 100 images?
But it is exactly what I do.... but after a lot of images I get a memory fail...
I note that after about one minutes the memory is free by Android background service....but I can't wait this time.
