I do the same thing. Blocks of code like this are very common in my apps: try { cards = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( resources, R.drawable.cards ); } catch( Error e ) { System.gc(); cards = BitmapFactory.decodeResource( resources, R.drawable.cards ); } It's not pretty, but it works great. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
