Android: Strange out of memory issue while loading an image to a Bitmap object
i am downloading images from Url and displaying them. At download time it is giving
out of memory error : bitmap size exceeds VM budget
.
I am using drawable. Code is below:
HttpClient httpclient= new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response=(HttpResponse)httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
HttpEntity entity= response.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity=new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
Bitmap useThisBitmap =
Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm,bm.getWidth(),bm.getHeight(), true);
bm.recycle();
BitmapDrawable bt= new BitmapDrawable(useThisBitmap);
System.gc();
Here is the error:
`05-28 14:55:47.251: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(4188):
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget`
Use decodeStream(is, outPadding, opts)
with
BitmapFactory.Options opts=new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inDither=false; //Disable Dithering mode
opts.inPurgeable=true; //Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory, the Bitmap can be cleared
opts.inInputShareable=true; //Which kind of reference will be used to recover the Bitmap data after being clear, when it will be used in the future
opts.inTempStorage=new byte[32 * 1024];
You could check the image size and then downsample it by appropriate factor.

This issue seems to have been reported several times, here and here for instance... sorry Shalini but if it's the same issue, it seems that there is no solution at all...
The only advice of Romain Guy is to use less memory...
So, good luck to think your stuff differently...
