I select 700kb image from gallery and recieve IllegalArgumentException. I link this with ussage of recycle() to save some memory. It bacomes actual problem as i started to get OutOfMemoryError, so i think i have to use recycle. Did I called it in wrong way or there is some rules how to use it propery?

error:

you are trying to convert image in to String... just look in to this ans: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12239626/1168654 — Dhaval Parmar, Jul 02 '13 at 11:53
I see, i cant recycle if i want to display an image. Befor i though, that calling `recycle` just after setting it to ImageView is ok. And wh y you mentioned string conversion? It is for other purposes and works fine or it interfere with something else? — Yarh, Jul 02 '13 at 12:17
