Android Question Statelist Drawable - multiple copies

[Rusty]

I have an array of buttons and am assigning them as Statelistdrawable. In order for each button to respond uniquely, i have to create an array of SLD definitions.
Question: Since i am creating an array of SLD, are the bitmaps that are contained in the SLD also duplicated in memory for each SLD? Or do the SLD's store a reference to the bitmap(s), thus no huge amount of memory is used for the array?
Thanks,
Rusty

You can and should reuse the bitmaps. StateListDrawable by itself will not clone the bitmap. Your code should avoid loading the bitmaps more than once.
