Question

I have recycled the bitmap variable and when I again tried to use the same variable I have some strange errors with reference to recycle. Any solution to this issue ?

Once you recycle the bitmap its memory is freed. That's mean that bitmaps data are gone from the memory. If you want to use again the same variable you have to decode the Bitmap againg .

if (image1 == null || image1.isRecycled()) {
    image1 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream()
}
