This is from a personal use case which I can imagine is also relevant for others.
In my application, I want to release the heavy sheet
Bitmap
after leaving the relevantActivity
but keep the emoji datastructure in memory to still have good performance when opening theActivity
again. When using the existingdestroy
method, I would have toinstall
a provider each time theActivity
is opened, which blocks the main thread and causes a visible stutter in my case. This newrelease
method allows to release theBitmap
when leaving and still installing theProvider
once in a central place.
