Android: Strange out of memory issue while loading an image to a Bitmap object
I am getting following error when I load bitmap on imageview in AsyncTask:
Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
Is there any help?
It could be helpful to watch the memory management session of this year's google i/o: Memory management for Android Apps Here, Patrick Dubroy explains some cases which can lead to memory leaks (particularly keeping a long lived reference to the application's context via static members). He also talks about the garbage collector.
I had the same problem. I solved the problem resampling the bitmap to lower resolution, and then using imageView.clearAnimation(); before to load the new bitmap on the imageView. Vote me if this helps you too. Regards. Note: in the following sample, data contains the new image data for the camera image picker and imageView is our ImageView.
Bitmap photo=null;
imageView.clearAnimation();
Uri photoUri = data.getData();
InputStream imageStream = null;
try {
imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(photoUri);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable = true;
options.inSampleSize=2;
Rect outPadding= new Rect(-1, -1, -1, -1);
photo = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream, outPadding, options);
imageView.setImageBitmap(photo);
