Should I recycle a bitmap after assigning it to an ImageView? I always here talks of the importance of recycling bitmaps, but I am never quite sure when. So in my present case I get a bitmap from SDCard and then pass it to my imageView as

myImageView.setImageBitmap(bmp);

should I immediately call bmp.recycle()?
