Is there any way to detect that there is not any memory available besides the INVALID return on a CreateObject ?
Usually when this occurs, the INVALID, the Roku just reboots itself. Not very user friendly !
I would like to display an error and exit the app, rather than hang or reboot.
Even with the INVALID return, I can't display anything because that takes memory.

Getting invalid when creating a bitmap is your indicator that you have reached the limit of memory. Some channels actually use this as a method for testing how many bitmaps they can keep in memory at once.

If you are getting reboots, that means there is a bug that probably needs to be addressed. Please create a small example that can reproducibly demonstrates the reboot and email it to me (jbraverman at roku dot com), or dropbox me a link via Private Message, please include the model of device and firmware version.
