That only works if the provider's data exists somewhere that is world-readable, which is basically only the media provider. It really shouldn't be specified as a generic column, but something very specific to the media provider. I would strongly recommend not using it. On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 11

Yeah, we've had a similar issue before. One thing you can try is to call recycle() on the last frame of your animation before you replace it. This is normally called by the garbage collector and works fine when you're not close to the memory limit, but it sounds like there might be cases where you

As in the comment in your bug-report by Romain, you're using too much memory. Note that you only have 16MByte total available RAM for your process, including your bitmaps. - Only load the bitmaps that are absolutely necessary (especially when they become quite large). - Load the bitmaps scaled to
