How do you handle Bitmaps in And...

Here are some tips for handling Bitmaps efficiently in Android to avoid memory issues:

Use Bitmap Pooling

• Bitmap pooling allows you to reuse Bitmap objects instead of constantly creating new ones
• This reduces memory usage and improves performance
• You can implement a simple Bitmap pool yourself or use a library like BitmapPool

Downsample Images

• Decode images at a lower resolution than their original size
• This reduces the memory footprint of the Bitmap
• Use BitmapFactory.Options.inSampleSize to specify the downsampling factor

Use Bitmap Recycle

• Call Bitmap.recycle() on Bitmaps you no longer need
• This frees up the native memory used by the Bitmap
• Be careful not to recycle Bitmaps that are still in use

Use Weak/Soft References

• Use WeakReference or SoftReference to hold Bitmaps
• This allows the garbage collector to reclaim the Bitmap memory if n...
