Answer 1

Quoting Dianne Hackborn from Android team:

Also keep in mind that Resources already maintains a cache of Drawables for you, using this facility, so there is no need for you to implement your own cache for any Drawables you are retrieving from Resources.

from this answer: Consequences of drawable.setCallback(null);
