Canvas: trying to use a recycled bitmap android.graphics.Bitmap in Android

Question

I am working on the crop image class, but encounter a recycled bit map problem:

03-02 23:14:10.514: E/AndroidRuntime(16736): FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-1470
03-         


        

Answer 1

Android doesn't allows us reuse recycled Bitmap .just comment the bitmap.recycle() to resolve this error. For more details click here

Answer 2

In my case error was caused because I changed visibility from gone to visible (or vice versa) of an element of the layout. And as consequence the space for the imageview and the bitmap created changed, so recycling caused app to crash. Avoid this and your problem will be fix.
