How to Detect Lowmemory in android?

Question

My application has a lot of images and sometimes it crashes due to low memory. I wrote this function that I found on the developer site.

public void onLowM

From API level 14, there's method called onTrimMemory(int) that fit your need.

Here's the doc:

You're able to be notified when the system is about to recollect memory and also how critical the current situation is.
