Don't null the reference to Bitmap pixels until we're really ready
A change in the VM triggers a native memory error more aggressively than before, showing that there's a bug in the logic of recycling bitmaps. Since the pixel memory is allocated on the Java heap, nulling out the reference to that memory in the Java level Bitmap object can cause that memory to get collected at any time. Meanwhile, we may have a reference to that memory at the native level for rendering purposes, causing an error if/when we access that memory after it has been collected by the VM. The fix is to avoid setting the reference to the pixels to null unless we are not referring to it in native code. This is determined at the time we call recycle() - we return a boolean to indicate whether the native code is still using the memory. if not, the Java code can null out the reference and allow the VM to collect it. Otherwise, it will get collected later when the encompassing Bitmap object is collected. Issue #7339156 HTML5 tests crash the app (Vellamo) Change-Id: I3a0d6b9a6c5dd3b86cc2b0ff7719007e774b5e3c
