Hi,

my app has widgets that have an ImageView and a TextView. On the onUpdate() method of the WidgetProvider, I put a Bitmap inside the ImageView this way:

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(), R.drawable.widget_btn);
Bitmap bitmap2 = BitmapManager.setColor(bitmap, red, green, blue);
views.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.image, bitmap2);

setColor() method is this:

public synchronized static Bitmap setColor(Bitmap org, float r, float g, float b)
{
    sColorMatrix.setScale(r, g, b, 1);
    sColorPaint.setColorFilter(new ColorMatrixColorFilter(sColorMatrix));
    // RGB_565 is faster, but loses transparency
    Bitmap ret = Bitmap.createBitmap(org.getWidth(), org.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    try{
        sColorCanvas.setBitmap(ret);
        //sColorCanvas.drawColor(Color.);
        sColorCanvas.drawBitmap(org, 0, 0, sColorPaint);
    } catch (Throwable t){

    }

    return ret;
}

The problem is that sometimes the widget throws a RuntimeException because somebody has recycled the Bitmap, and I don't know what to do. Some suggestions?

I can attach the stacktrace if it can be useful. Thank you!

A: 

The solution is to remove all calls to Bitmap#recycle from your code. The garbage collector will take care of unreferenced bitmaps.

Hi, I haven't called recycle() on any part of my code, that is the curious thing... Thank you!

That's very weird. `recycle` has to be explicitly called. I don't see anything jumping out at me when I do a call hierarchy on it either.
