I have recycled the bitmap variable and when I again tried to use the same variable I have some strange errors with reference to recycle. Any solution to this issue ?
java code:
image1.recycle();
image1=null;
LogCat:

You can have check before recycling the bitmap, as like :
if (img != null && !img.isRecycled())
{
img.recycle();
img = null;
System.gc();
}
Here img is bitmap.
Try this type error is sloved.
Returns an immutable bitmap from the specified subset of the source bitmap. The new bitmap may be the same object as source, or a copy may have been made.
It seems that the createBitmap functions have the potential to re-use the bitmap that you provided. If that is the case, then you shouldn't recycle the temporary bitmap since your final bitmap is using it. One thing you can do is
if(tempBitmap != finalBitmap) {
tempBitmap.recycle();
}
That should only recycle the tempBitmap when it isn't the same as the finalBitmap. At least that seems to be what the documentation is implying.
Once you recycle the bitmap its memory is freed. That's mean that bitmaps data are gone from the memory. If you want to use again the same variable you have to decode the Bitmap againg .
if (image1 == null || image1.isRecycled()) {
image1 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream()
}
