This interface is available in all application components * ({@link android.app.Activity}, {@link android.app.Service}, * {@link ContentProvider}, and {@link android.app.Application}). * *

You should implement {@link #onTrimMemory} to incrementally release memory based on current * system constraints. Using this callback to release your resources helps provide a more * responsive system overall, but also directly benefits the user experience for * your app by allowing the system to keep your process alive longer. That is, * if you don't trim your resources based on memory levels defined by this callback, * the system is more likely to kill your process while it is cached in the least-recently used * (LRU) list, thus requiring your app to restart and restore all state when the user returns to it. * *

The values provided by {@link #onTrimMemory} do not represent a single linear progression of * memory limits, but provide you different types of clues about memory availability:
