AsyncTask memory crash

Question

I use AsyncTask to download page html and then extract theme-color and other thing from the html (Also download drawable). This gets executed in onPageStarted like this:

if (interfaceUpdating && !url.contains("download.php")) {
            new themeColorTask().execute(url);
   }                                  

That works completly fine but the problem is when the user downloads a file, it works fine for few seconds but then i get this in crashlog:

This is my AsyncTask:

Answer 1

78Mb it's not too much. You can add android:largeHeap="true" in manifest file. Also, don't forget to recycle bitmaps after usage.

Answer 2

Its not async task I think it's your bitmap object. Try using bitmap.recycle() and the set bitmap = null after you have used bitmap object bm in your post execute.
