Rotating the device causes OutOfMemory exceptions

[devemux86]

Have you tried using

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

for the map activity at the AndroidManifest.xml to avoid restarting the activity at each device rotation?

Emux
Cruiser - Atlas

I want to handle configuration changes by myself. I don't want to use android:configChanges - it just hides problems.

Confirmed. According to the memory analyzer it looks like it is retaining the MapView via the mMyLocationConsumer. Can anyone confirm if removing both the MyLocationNewOverlay and the CompassOverlay overlay eliminates the issue?

I will confirm it tomorrow.

Yes!

So I found the issue with OpenStreetMapViewer. It actually had nothing to do with the MyLocationNewOverlay and CompassOverlay. We were simply re-adding a new MapFragment every rotate. I will update the OpenStreetMapViewer code and close this ticket. If you still find you have issues, please re-open.
