clear a bitmap from arraytlist using recycle not working, ANDROID

Question

I created an arraylist for bitmaps and then i want to remove a single bitmap from arraylist when a button is clicked. I used this for clearing bitmap

DELETE.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

            bitmapArray.get(0).recycle();

        }
    });

But this doesnt seem to work . it does not remove the bitmap. Please suggest me something else.

Answer 1

Add this line after..

bitmapArray.get(0).recycle();

you are just recycling but not removing the bitmap object from the list..

bitmapArray.remove(0);

Answer 2

Try calling bitmapArray.remove(0); after bitmapArray.get(0).recycle();
