Android Question How clear my app cache?

[devmobile]

I use some library that save data on ram(cache) example picasso
How do i can clear this cache?

I don't think it's possible in code. I think the only way to do it is via the app manager on your device. I could be wrong though - have you tried searching the forum for "Clear cache" or something similar?

It is bad solution.
Maybe my app cache many files in device,so it shoule able to clear it without user action

Recycler I think - if it's items held in memory as opposed to files stored for instance.

ETA : Maybe this? https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/java-method-recycle-not-found.17950/#content

Search for Garbage Collection / Collector in the forum.

Most of the time you shouldn't need to do this, but sometimes...

There is no such thing. If a library stores something in memory then you need to clear the relevant references that are inside the library. You cannot do it externally unless the library exposes such a method.

What exactly are you attempting to clear, is it memory or files, a combination of both or something else altogether? I'm not familiar with the Picasso stuff you mention.
