Android app with images crashes

I'm developing an android app that takes photos from camera or from library and does some stuff on them. The point is that after some use the application crashes. I have tried to make every possible optimization I could think of, ex call gc when possible, null the images when I leave an activity and even remove activities from the cache. But I still get out of memory errors and the app crashes.

Any suggestions on how to avoid such errors? Or even how to efficiently load images from drawables folder . Or any efficient way to throw all not needed objects when the activity changes so as to only use the needed memory for the active activity??

i had similar problems and ended up tracking them down to particular images. out of my 400 images there where three that where huge (file size wise). so i would check that all of your images have similar file size (usually it is directly correlated with image size)

also aren't bitmaps pretty big? how big is your average picture?

Did you manage Bitmap objects? If so, you have to call Bitmap.recycle() method.
