3. github.com/dallasgutauckis WHY  DO  I  NEED  TO   MANAGE  BITMAPS?   3  
4. github.com/dallasgutauckis 4   FINITE  RESOURCES  
5. github.com/dallasgutauckis TONS  OF  IMAGES   5  
6. github.com/dallasgutauckis MEGAPIXELS   6   (Lots of pixels -- not really big ones)
7. github.com/dallasgutauckis CONVINCED  YET?   7  
8. github.com/dallasgutauckis SO.  IT  CRASHES   SOMETIMES…   8  
9. github.com/dallasgutauckis AND  YOU  GET  NEGATIVE  FEEDBACK   9  
10. github.com/dallasgutauckis WHAT  SHOULD  I  DO?   10  
11. github.com/dallasgutauckis IT'S  OBVIOUS   11  
12. github.com/dallasgutauckis DOWNVOTE  THE  REVIEW  AND   MARK  IT  AS  SPAM   12  
13. github.com/dallasgutauckis JUST  KIDDING   13  
14. github.com/dallasgutauckis §  Use  a  download  manager   §  Don't  allow  mulRple  concurrent  downloads  of  the  same  image   §  Don't  download  on  the  UI  thread   §  Lists  (GridView,  ListView,  AdapterView)   §  Avoid  downloading  images  while  flinging  (use  ScrollListener)   §  Cache!   §  Bitmaps  stored  naRvely  vs.  on  applicaRon  heap   §  LruCache<String,  Bitmap>  (Least-­‐recently  used)   §  Override  sizeOf(String,  Bitmap)   §  Override  entryRemoved(boolean,  K,  V,  V)   §  OutOfMemoryError   §  Evict!  Recycle!  Resize!   14  
15. github.com/dallasgutauckis §  RESAMPLE   §  Save  memory  when  determining  resample  factor,  just  decode  bounds     §  inSampleSize  to  tell  the  system  to  resample   §  Number  is  a  raRo  (1  pixel  for  every  X  original  pixels)   §  Factors  of  2  are  typically  more  performant   15  
16. github.com/dallasgutauckis §  Avoid  the  ominous  "bitmap  is  recycled"  excepRon   §  Check  for  recycled  bitmaps   §  Bitmap#isRecycled();   §  ImageView#setImageBitmap(null);   §  Re-­‐download   16   RuntimeException: trying to use a recycled bitmap android.graphics.Bitmap
17. github.com/dallasgutauckis §  Trying  to  draw  recycled  bitmaps   §  Determining  the  size  of  a  Bitmap  by  decoding  the  enRre  Bitmap   §  Downloading  items  that  may  never  be  visible   §  LruCache  is  thread-­‐safe.  Synchronize!   17
