trying to use a recycled bitmap android.graphics.Bitmap

I am displaying one .gif in my activity A. When user presses one button user moves to activity b and same .gif is displaying there but I am getting "trying to use a recycled bitmap android.graphics.Bitmap" this error on my activity b.

I am displaying .gif from sd card and on onStop() I am setting imageview of activity a to null as well in activity A but I am not able to solve this issue.

Please help in this case.

Solution already provided here : Canvas: trying to use a recycled bitmap android.graphics.Bitmap in android

This one should work . Otherwise checkout the link for more solutions

if (mBitmap != null && !mBitmap.isRecycled()) {
    mBitmap.recycle();
    mBitmap = null; 
}

You can have check before recycling the bitmap, as like :

if (img != null && !img.isRecycled()) 
{
 img.recycle(); 
 img = null;
 System.gc(); 
}

Here img is bitmap. Try this type error is solved.

Try to find references of usage of the method recycle() in your code or in any library that you use. It indicates that someone is recycling a bitmap that is still being used which is not good. You can only safely call the recycle() method when you are absolutely sure that the given bitmap won't be necessary anymore.

It is usually a common problem when you are dealing with bitmap caches, not sure if that is your case.
