I have a repeated Runnable task that performs a setImageResource() every 10 seconds (the resource is a jpeg file). This is the only significant thing happening in the activity.
However, after a few iterations (2-4), the app crashes with the following error:
- VM won't let us allocate X bytes
- Shutting down VM
I did not expect this. Why isn't the GC cleaning up previous jpeg bitmaps? How do I avoid crashing the VM?
Thanks.
