MapFragment Google Maps API v2 Out of Memory Error / Memory Leak

Question

I\'ve read a number of similar posts over the past few days, but none that specifically answer this problem. I start getting an OOM issue after ~2 minutes of aggressive map

Answer 1

I ran into this problem trying to run an app on demo mode for a few hours at a time. No matter what I tried, after 30 minutes, I would see this crash without a readable stack report.

I tried many different things but this was the only thing that worked for me. It's not a fix for the map bug, but it kept my app from crashing:

    <application
    ...
    android:largeHeap="true">

Answer 2

try call map onPause, onResume, onLowMemory in corresponding Fragment methods.
