android on view removed from parent

Question

on a child layout (View) is there a callback for when the view is removed from it's parent? I need to recycle some images when the view is done. I've been looking around on the web for what to do, but haven't found anything helpful yet.

Answer 1

I've been looking for something like this too. The best I can find is View.OnAttachStateChangeListener. I doubt it's ideal, as it's the callback for when the View is added & removed from the Window - not the parent, but it's sufficient for my needs.

Answer 2

Instead of registering a new listener, you can override onDetachedFromWindow in your custom View code.
