Android Question [Solved]Again: Images & Memory -> Crash after 70 images?!

KMatle · Jan 15, 2015

I am downloading 85 images from my website (640x480, 16 KB). For each image I create a new Imageview with the downloaded image and add it to a scrollview. Actually nothing special, but the app has memory problems after about only 70 images (even if these are much bigger in an imageview but 70 * 2 MB would be 140 MB)...

Any ideas? (or am I dumb?)

I knew the problem from the forum but I never thought that about 70 small images could cause this. My solution is to copy all images to a folder (the filenames to a list) and then load them on demand.

Funny that we are able to create huge libgdx 3d superduper games but are not able (at least me) to load some images at once

In my UPNP Browser app I followed someone's advice and utilised bump scrolling in a CustomListView. I only show a small subset of the results at any one time. When the user scrolls to the end I reinitialise the contents with the next set of results (or previous set if scrolling back) and allow the user to continue scrolling. It works reasonably well. But I would have preferred an event to trigger when reaching the end of the list as that was a little tricky bit to get right.
