Which Recycler Adapter method is called when recycler wants to recycler an adapter

I am aware that a recycler adapter and listview basically recycles adapters that can fit a given screen giving the user the illusion of multiple items, my main reason for this question is because I have an app that loads a great deal of images in a recycler using Picasso but I noticed Picasso is not doing the job as expected, my app uses roughly 10mb on the emulator and about 4mb on real devices, this is really good for an app that displays images but I want to go further, I want to be recycling bitmaps myself in the method that is called when an adapter leaves the screen, that is, since views are recycled there has to be a method that removes data out of an adapter and refills it with new data to make that illusion a reality, I looked at the recycler adapter documentation and I noted 2 methods the onDetachedFromRecyclerView and onViewDetachedFromWindow both of which cannot be overridden, anyone have an idea on how I can approach my problem?

solved it, I had to override onViewRecycled and the previous 2 methods are overridenable except I did not know how to, I know do.

   @Override
public void onViewRecycled(MyViewHolder holder) {
    super.onViewRecycled(holder);
    //destory anything here


}
