Need help on memory management on an application using QWebView

[shariqkhan]

Hi,

I am developing an application on a target device. One module of the application involves the web browser which has been implemented using QWebView. Now the browser requires to be able to navigate back to at least 30 pages. So i keep a history of the web pages visited.
The problem is that after loading 5-6 webpages, the application dies because of low memory.
I searched the net and tried using

QAbstractNetworkCache::Clear()
QAbstractNetworkCache::remove()
QWebSettings::clearIconDatabase ()
QWebSettings::clearIconDatabase ()

QAbstractNetworkCache::Clear()
QAbstractNetworkCache::remove()
QWebSettings::clearIconDatabase ()
QWebSettings::clearIconDatabase ()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

These helped quite a bit, but the application still dies after loading approx 12-13 pages.
Since the target device has limited memory(40 MB) in our case, I need to free memory as soon as I am on threshold of running out of memory. Can somebody help me how can I free some memory and/or manage it better?

Thanks.

Did you use these to limit the history...

QWebHistory * QWebPage::history (); // get the history instance
void QWebHistory::setMaximumItemCount ( int count ) // set maximum size

QWebHistory * QWebPage::history (); // get the history instance
void QWebHistory::setMaximumItemCount ( int count ) // set maximum size

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

yes..I did limit history size to 30.

Just a thought: May be unload all the not required modules objects expect QWebView, (which you can created later after QWebView is done)..
