Android Question Open and close activities slowdown the application

[Hccsoft]

Hi,

I have an application that works properly unless I recharge more than 10 activities (I don't have more than 2 screens at once and I unload the screen when I close). The application becomes slow and charge the images and icons pixelated. I think it's a memory problem but when I close the activities I close using an Activity.RemoveAllViews.

I also tested with:

For i = 0 To Activity.NumberOfViews-1 Step -1
Activity.RemoveViewAt (i)

Any idea what could be happening?

Thank you

Do you see any out of memory messages in the log?

Make sure that you are not loading large images (width * height). A single large image can consume all the available memory.

The background images have 200kb to 500kb and 1300x800 (it's too much?). It's for 1080p Sony Xperia.

It's 1330x800x4=4 MB. Android has only a very small amout of memory for images (NOT 2 GB!). Load them with bitmapsample at a lower resolution or re-use the imageviews.

I still wonder why android can display superduper games with Open GL and 3d shaders but is not able to display some images.
