关于Bitmap.recycle();

1.

很多人都知道为了减小图片对资源的消耗会调用Bitmap.recycle();然后再调用Bitmap=null；但是在Bitmap.recycle();的时候Bitmap到底是回收了什么，把什么回收了？

想知道recycle到底是recycle了什么，最直接的方法就是读fucking resource code

/**
 * Free the native object associated with this bitmap, and clear the
 * reference to the pixel data. This will not free the pixel data synchronously;
 * it simply allows it to be garbage collected if there are no other references.
 * The bitmap is marked as "dead", meaning it will throw an exception if
 * getPixels() or setPixels() is called, and will draw nothing. This operation
 * cannot be reversed, so it should only be called if you are sure there are no
 * further uses for the bitmap. This is an advanced call, and normally need
 * not be called, since the normal GC process will free up this memory when
 * there are no more references to this bitmap.
 */
public void recycle() {
    if (!mRecycled && mFinalizer.mNativeBitmap != 0) {
        if (nativeRecycle(mNativeBitmap)) {
            // return value indicates whether native pixel object was actually recycled.
            // false indicates that it is still in use at the native level and these
            // objects should not be collected now. They will be collected later when the
            // Bitmap itself is collected.
            mBuffer = null;
            mNinePatchChunk = null;
        }
        mRecycled = true;
    }
}

好，先用翻译工具将Google给的注释翻译一下，大概意思就是这样的：

       释放与此位图相关联的本机对象，并清除参考像素数据。这将不会同步地释放像素数据;它只是允许在没有其他引用的情况下收集垃圾。位图被标记为“死”，意味着它将抛出一个异常get像素()或setpx()被调用，什么也不画。这个操作不能颠倒，所以只有在你确定没有的时候才应该调用它进一步使用位图。这是一个高级调用，通常不需要调用，因为正常的GC进程将释放这个内存，因为不再有对这个位图的引用

将这一大句话简化一下意思就是说：Bitmap.recycle();会释放Bitmap所关联的像素资源，并且释放是单向的，一旦释放不可再用。

这样的话就好理解了，Bitmap.recycle();释放了图片的资源，但是Bitmap本身并没有释放，它依然在占用资源，所以还要在调用一次Bitmap=null;将Bitmap赋空，让有向图断掉，好让GC回收。
