Android Question Correct memory management for Dialogs

[GiovanniPolese]

Hi
I am C/C++/C# programmer, mostly C/C++, and therefore not so expert in Java. Maybe I miss something very basic. My question is basically related to what happens to memory when I repeatedtly use a Dialog, opening and closing it during App execution. The question is: shall I remove the views from the Dialog, after closing it, to free memory? Let's consider the following example code, which works (for now), where a Dialog contains various Views, which are loaded from various Layouts.

sub Globals
    Private MyTabHost As TabHost
    Private MyDialog As B4XDialog
    Dim MyPanel As B4XView
end sub

private Sub ShowDialog
    
    If Not (MyPanel.IsInitialized) Then MyPanel= xui.CreatePanel("")
    
    MyPanel.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 0, 0, Activity.Width,Activity.Height-40dip)
            
    MyPanel.LoadLayout("Layout_0")
            
    MyTabHost.AddTab("Tab_1/","Layout_1")
    MyTabHost.AddTab("Tab_2/","Layout_2")

    MyDialog.Initialize(Activity)
    MyDialog.Title="....."
        
    'populate MyDialog views
                
    Wait For (MyDialog.ShowCustom(MyPanel, "OK", "", "CANCEL")) Complete (Resu As Int)
        
    If Resu = xui.DialogResponse_Positive Then
       ' retrieve Data from MyDialog
    end if
End Sub

Thanks in advance.

Do nothing. Java manages the memory for you - just let it do its own thing.
