OOM error for png file having size greater than 2.3MB

Question

My application gets crashed on opening a .png file which is having size of 2.5MB. This file is of high resolution.Im getting OOM error.

The piece of code which causes the error is:

long sizeInMB = imageFile.length()/(1024*1024);
if(sizeInMB > 2){
    int inSampleSize = (int) (sizeInMB/5);
    if(sizeInMB%5 > 0){
        inSampleSize++;
    }
    Options opts = new Options();
    opts.inSampleSize=inSampleSize;
    bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, opts);    
}else{
    bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
}

The line bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath) causes the error.

Any help will be appreciated,

Thanks in advance

If `bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath)` causes the error something seems to go wrong because the other if-branch (`bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, opts);`) should be executed, shouldn't it? — Taig, Feb 08 '13 at 05:27

Because in your case 2MB bitmap might take around 10MB of memory

refer this on how to load large bitmaps

Try using this may be it will solve your problem.

Options opts = new Options(); 
  opts.inJustDecodeBounds = true; 
  BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, opts); 
  Log.e("optwidth",opts.outWidth+""); 
  opts.inJustDecodeBounds = false; 
  if(opts.outWidth>500){ 
          opts.inSampleSize = 4; 
          mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, opts); 
  } 
  else mBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, opts);

I have added code for the width size, you can also add as per your requirement for height.
