Description

In CameraLauncher.java there are a number of assignments like:

bitmap = scaleBitmap(bitmap);

This allows the old reference to bitmap to leak. I'd suggest something like:

scaledBitmap = scaleBitmap(unscaledBitmap);
unscaledBitmap.recycle();
System.gc();

To allow native code to reclaim original no longer required bitmap.
