Hi

I have an application that draws a lot of graphics and change them. Since I have many graphics, I thought of having the images outside the APK, downloaded from the internet as needed, and saved on the files application folder.

But I started to get outOfMemory exceptions.

The question is: Does android handle memory different if I load a graphic from APK than if I load it from 'disk'?

code using APK:

topView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bg);

code if image is outside APK:

Drawable d = Drawable.createFromPath(pathName); topView.setBackgroundDrawable(d);

Thanks

Daniel
