OK so I have been at this for days and I still can make sense of the MAT program for eclipse. I can tell I have a memory leak because when running my application I only have about 2% free memory. here is an image from mat https://i.stack.imgur.com/amkuL.png showing the memory leak. if you want to download the dump I posted it here http://www.mediafire.com/?y1ve41ti1ai5dti Any help one this would be great.
Some background on the application: the main screen has several buttons taking you to new activities. The second button brings you to the games start screen. From here pressing start calls penguin activity which creates a new gameview class which will load the bitmaps into a hashmap and use throughout the game to paint on the canvas.
