My application uses far too much memory, and uses a lot of images on one of the activities. I went to my main menu which only has 2 image buttons and a background image and removed all of the images from it to see what kind of memory it used... It still seems pretty high for nothing on the page.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or are these normal numbers? In the activity that uses a lot of images, the allocated memory is much higher around 250MB, and crashes if I don't use my tiny scaled down images.

  • Use Glide to Load your images – Tosin Onikute Sep 29 '15 at 19:59
  • It's better than Picasso? Do you know why my memory allocation is so high with blank image buttons and blank background? – nworbkcin Sep 29 '15 at 22:48
  • Yes, its better than picasso. you may be implementing it in a wrong way. maybe you should post your code. – Tosin Onikute Sep 29 '15 at 22:53
  • I made a fresh blank application, and put 2 image buttons into it. There is no code and its 23MB allocated. Is this normal? – nworbkcin Sep 30 '15 at 02:02
  • Am not quite sure whether its normal or not. I have an App which loads lots of images from the web and its allocated 10mb+ , you might want to take a look at this. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18723755/android-studio-how-to-increase-allocated-heap-size – Tosin Onikute Sep 30 '15 at 03:36
  • Thanks, using glide on 43 of my images reduced the memory allocated from 220MB to 189MB. I don't think it's fully the problem but it definitely helps to load them from the internet. – nworbkcin Oct 01 '15 at 20:24
