MapView out of memory

[HelloGalaxy]

Hello, I created a MapView object in an activity. But I found out a terrible issue. After I have rotated the tablet many times, the MapView object always throws Out Of Memory exception. As the result, the activity is blocked or reflect slowly....

I have found out a solution. When the activity will be destroyed, we should call the function: mapView.getTileProvider().clearTileCache(); to clean resouces. With this method, the out of memory execption do not be throwed again.

if you programmatically construct the map view, then add it to the activity and don't clean it up on destroy, you may end up with a map view that doesn't get GC'd. @HelloGalaxy can you post the creation code?

ping time out. reopen the ticket if you still have the issue. it sounds like you're not removing the created view on destory
