Memory Problem (6230i)

[lpinguin]

Hi everybody,
In my app I like to give the User at the end of an action an advice what the app has done. I implemented this message with a form which displays the message. The Problem is, that this Form isn't shown after the action of my app. Only the title of the form is shown. Is there a chance to free the memory with something else as "System.gc" to call the GrabageCollector?

THX

Yes I switch the form but not the display ones I have initialized the display I use the same instance of it.
This is the way I call the message form:

.
.
.
msgform.append(/*MessageText*/);
display.setCurrent(msgform);
msgform.setCommandListener(msgListen);
.
.
.

THX for your reply

What can I do to get my app small (depending on memory)?

Making your app smaller: Obfuscation, optimizing the picture, video, and audio files delivered in the jar file.
mBooster (http://www.innaworks.com/) uses a bunch of other techniques and it will likely make your midlet smaller, but that is not a free program (there is an evaluation version on the site).
There was also a presentation on optimization techniques at JavaOne by Innaworks' Stephen Cheng. Unfortunately the slides are not yet online.
