View Pager with Universal Image Loader Out of Memory Error

Question

I am not really sure if a ViewPager with Universal Image Loader can/should be used as an alternate for a gallery like interface since I have run into an Out of Memory error whil

Answer 1

It's probably not the best implementation to solve it, but it worked for me. Removing the ImageViews is not enough, so I decided to recycle bitmaps in 'destroyItem':

@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
    View view = (View) object;
    ImageView imageView = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.image);
    if (imageView != null) {
        Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
        bitmap.recycle();
        bitmap = null;
    }
    ((ViewPager) container).removeView(view);
    view = null;
}

This does not clean the last 3 active pages when you leave the activity, although I hope that GC takes care of them.
