[android-developers] Re: Out Of Memory Error with Images loaded through XML

Presumably because he needs to recycle the switched out bitmap
immediately, rather than wait for Android to decide that it has time
to clean out the old bitmaps.

I've run into this issue a lot myself when working with largish
bitmaps. The GC for bitmaps is pretty rubbish - especially if your app
has to run on older phones.
