In our app we have a lot of images. When they needed we get them in
such way: PlayN.assets().getImage("imageURL");
In android 2.3 there is limit for 24mb of bitmap resources. So, while
showing images on Screen2(let's say Game) i must hide (unload) images
from Screen1(lets say Intro).
I have reference to image from Screen1 and i can call clear() method:
CanvaseImage referenceToImage - i need to unload,
referenceToImage.canvas().clear();
BUT, - this way do not unload image from android memory in 2.3.x - ( Android: Bitmap recycle() how does it work?... this post tell that i should call recycle() on bitmap, since bitmaps are stored in non-management memory and cant be shrinked from there by GC.)
and i have such stackTrace for android if images from Screen1 are not unloaded from memory:

Is there some way to call playN 's magic for recycling bitmaps in Android 2.3.x memory model?
