Method Detail

onTrim

void onTrim()

Relaxed release of memory

This is the method that should be called from Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks#onTrimMemory(int) on a level like Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks#TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND.
Though this is not mandatory, and this method can be run at any level, it is recommended to have this method run at a lower level than the onForceTrim() method.

Since:

Interface 1.0, API 1.0.0

onForceTrim

void onForceTrim()

Strict release of all not strictly necessary memory resources.

The call to this method should also ensure that all resources that would be freed by onTrim() are definitely freed.

This is the method that should be called from Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks#onLowMemory() or preferrably from Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks#onTrimMemory(int) with the Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks#TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE level.
