[android-developers] Re: How to resolve outOfMemoryError - Bitmap size exceeds VM budget

I assume you have your images shown in an ImageView.

For each of your activities that shows the image in an ImageView:

In the onStart():

  ...

  myBitmap = loadBitmap();

  imageView.setImageBitmap(myBitmap);

  ...

In the onStop():

  ...

  imageView.setImageDrawable(null); // disassociates the bitmap from the imageView and it won't access it again.

  myBitmap.recycle();

  myBitmap = null;

  ...

In the loadBitmap():

  Here it is up to you how to load the bitmap, since I don't know where you get your images from.

(If you  don't show the images in an ImageView, you'd have to find another way to disassociate the bitmap from that other View/control/whatever)
