Android - memory leak or?
two days ago i noticed something. I have a spinner over a map activity. In the OnCreate() method of the activity i populate the spinner with data. After that i start the heap analyzer in DDMS i begin to open/close the spinner. I noticed the VM allocate memory when i open the spinner items, but when i close it, the VM do no free this memory. I've tried to start the GC, but the memory is still allocated. i did this 20 times one by one and the allocated memory increased from 3.5MB to 7MB. What is wrong? I found an issue in google groups, but they haven't answered yet. Spinner memory leak I
