Well, it is true there is no fix answer for that problem. I used to have to deal with this exception quite a lot at the beginning. Then I discovered the "magic" tool "memory analysis" and cleaned my code. So now, I'm not getting that OutOfMemoryException due to my code. Mostly, what I did was releasing manually all the bitmaps every time my activity went to the background, and being sure to finish the activities I didnt need, specially those with large bitmaps on it. So, yeah, in my opinion, there is no a general solution for this problem but you have to adapt your code and make it clear and simple.
