Whether system.gc will avoid android's out of memory exception for bitmap?

  • No, it won't. A gc is done automatically if memory is low. Btw, this problem has been discussed many times. If you have this problem in a debugger only, it's a known problem with memory leaks through exceptions. If not, then you're leaking bitmaps, or using too large bitmaps.

  • i have found that System.gc() brings improvement with rather big bitmaps but you can not rely on it. Commented Dec 31, 2010 at 13:00

System.gc() is just an request to jvm to execute gc, you cannot 100% be sure that it will get executed upon System.gc() invocation .
