i'm recycling large bitmap files for my game in hopes of avoiding out of memory errors. however the system does not appear to be making the memory available for new bitmap allocation and no matter how many bitmaps I recycle it always appears to crashe at the same time as if I didn't recycle anything. I'm using system.gc to force garbage collection after every .recycle command, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. neither does view.getResources().flushLayoutCache(); or view.destroyDrawingCache();. here is the log:
