(From http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2426 ) -- As I understand it, the "external" allocations don't bump up against the current heap *contents* but rather the current heap *limit*. That is, if you have 5MB of objects in a heap that was forced to expand to 8MB at some point, your external allocation limit is 8MB, not 11MB. The VM could try to GC to see if the resulting heap is small enough to reduce the soft limit, but since the current implementation doesn't do compaction that's not likely. The external allocation mechanism is a hack. -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
