My code:

showAttachment(atts);

where atts is an Array os paths

private void showAttachment(List<Attachment> atts) {

    for(Attachment att : atts){
        insertPhoto(getBitmap(att.getPath()));
    }

}

public Bitmap getBitmap(String path){

    BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    bmOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    bmOptions.inPurgeable = true;

    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, bmOptions);

    return bitmap;

}

public void insertPhoto(Bitmap btmp){
    final ViewGroup newView = (ViewGroup) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(
            R.layout.photo_item, mContainerView, false);


    newView.setBackground(new BitmapDrawable(getResources(),btmp));
    ImageView delete = (ImageView) newView.findViewById(R.id.photo_expense_discart);
    delete.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            //mContainerView.removeView(newView);
            Intent imageDetil = new Intent(InsertItem.this,ImageDetailActivity.class);
            InsertItem.this.startActivity(imageDetil);
        }
    });

    mContainerView.addView(newView, 0);
}

And my XML:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="130dp"
android:layout_height="130dp"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dp"
    android:alpha="80"
    android:background="#80000000"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/photo_expense_discart"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/ic_content_discard_w" />
</LinearLayout>

if I do that with one image works fine, but when I try to show more than one, i get the error, does anyone know how can I solve that?thanks

Answer 1

Check at this piece of the code you provided:

public Bitmap getBitmap(String path){

    BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    bmOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    bmOptions.inPurgeable = true;

    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, bmOptions);

    return bitmap;

}

In the line Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, bmOptions);, you are probably tryng to decode a file too big, resulting in an outofmemory exception.
