I am drawing bitmaps left and right and I hit this issue where I create a bitmap in one section of my code and when I later try to draw on it using canvas, i get bitmap recycled. but I did not null if out, or call its recycle method.
Description: I have a main Class that extends View that when first loads, initiates the main screen which loads/draws on bitmaps and no problem. I then added a key event that causes this screen to go away and load the next screen. The screen logic is encapsulated in a class that I already instantiated in the Main Class constructor and in my second screen its constructor is this code: staticBg = new BitmapDrawable(Bitmap.createBitmap(320, 240, Bitmap.Config.RGB_565)); staticGr = new Canvas( staticBg.getBitmap() ); at a later time, from my first screen when I push a button, i call my init() function that trys load screen two which does a draw to this bitmap and I get the following error: 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): java.lang.NullPointerException 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): at android.graphics.Canvas.throwIfRecycled(Canvas.java:890) 03-06 08:52:56.301: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(846): at android.graphics.Canvas.drawBitmap(Canvas.java:911) It is saying my bitmap is recycled BUT from what I understand that does not happened unless you explicitly call it or the garbage collector does when there are no more references to it BUT i obviously still have a reference to it. What am I doing wrong? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
