Memory Usage Increases When Scrolling In Recyclerview

I'm using recyclerview to list around 120 layouts that include 1 Imagebutton,1 Textview and 1 Button. The initial memory usage when i first launch the activity that has the recycle

Solution 1:

I don't know if it is a weird bug or if i did something wrong when implementing the Recyclerview but setting viewHolder.setIsRecyclable(false); made my RecyclerView start recycling elements and solved my memory problem.Still so curious to know the reason behind this opposite behavior.

Solution 2:

There are some points to take care:

1. No need to make viewHolder class as static.
2. Don't add "View.OnClickListener" in "onBindViewHolder". You can use it in viewHolder class. like this

publicclassViewHolderextendsRecyclerView.ViewHolder{

        ImageButton emoteButton;
        Button optionButton;
        TextView text;

        publicViewHolder(@NonNull View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            emoteButton = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tempimagebutton);
            optionButton = itemView.findViewById(R.id.tempbutton);
            text = itemView.findViewById(R.id.temptext);

            emoteButton.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
                DatabaseConstants.INTERSTITIAL_AD_COUNTER++;
                commonMethodsInterface.ShowInterstitialAd();
                commonMethodsInterface.playEmoteSound(
                    emoteArray.get(getAdapterPosition()));
         }
        });
        optionButton.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
                DatabaseConstants.INTERSTITIAL_AD_COUNTER++;
                commonMethodsInterface.ShowInterstitialAd();              
                commonMethodsInterface.ShowDialog(
                   emoteArray.get(getAdapterPosition()));
            }
        });
        }
    }
