(Solved) textureState.deleteAll(true); nullpointerexception

Troubleshooting General Help

Hi I have a problem with memory leaks.



I create a lot of Quads and load and set an individual texture to each,

attach them to a Node "quadsNode" , which is attached to rootNode,

I also put them in a Vector "quads".



Then at some point I need to remove all Quads so I detachAllChildren() on quadsNode and do quads.clear();



Then I start creating the quads again and so on.



Everytime I do this the memory usage increases until I get OutOfMemoryError.



I read that Textures are cached so I tried the Prisms TextureCleanup:


public class TextureCleanup {

   private static TextureState ts;
   
   public static void cleanTexture(Spatial s) {
      ts = (TextureState)s.getRenderState(RenderState.RS_TEXTURE);
      if(ts != null)
         ts.deleteAll(true);
      if(s instanceof Node) {
         ArrayList<Spatial> children = ((Node)s).getChildren();
         if(children != null) {
            Iterator i = children.iterator();
            while(i.hasNext()) {
               cleanTexture((Spatial)i.next());   
            }
         }   
      }
      ts = null;
      
   }
}



But I get NullPointerException on ts.deleteAll(true); which is strange since it's checked if null first.

These actions are triggered from a SwingUI though.

Does this have to be done in the GL thread?

Yes.

Thanks. Should have checked it before but I kind of realized it at the end of the post.  ://
