You might be doing something like this:

Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("test");
//doing something with the bitmap
b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("test2");
//and so on
b.recycle();

That sample will keep the reference to the first bitmap and will not be garbage collected. The second one will. So you have to remember to b.recycle(); before you load a new bitmap.
