Implementation of the Application.MEMORY_WARNING event

techdojo

The title say's it all - I'm working on a new scene manager that will handle and expose all of the current application lifecycle events to your app, however I noticed that there doesn't seem to be an event for the low memory notification event.

Is it worth considering exposing it to the next version?

And what will you do if this event occurs? Dispose of scenes? Throw out bunch of optional buttons, or load smaller graphics to consume less memory?

Just interested how it can be used.

Right now as far as I know, garbage collector is called on memory low, or at least it was in the roadmap

as @ar2rsawseen said, gideros calls collectgarbage (twice) when when we receive a memory low event.

techdojo

Fair point - although given that any scenes will automatically be reloaded / created when accessed if they don't already exist, it could be used to automatically release the the least recently used screen.

@techdojo I understand now. Let me look at Android side and if I find a similar event then I'll add low memory notification event to gideros.
