Out of Memeory exception and bitmap from Uri in android

Question

I have application where I get photo from camera and show it in imageview.

Uri bitmapPictureUri = intent.getParcelableExtra(TaskActivity.PHOTO);
            Bitmap bitmap = null;

            try {

                bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), bitmapPictureUri);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            int nh = (int) (bitmap.getHeight() * (512.0 / bitmap.getWidth()));
            bitmapPicture = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 512, nh, true);
            WeakReference<Bitmap> bm = new WeakReference<Bitmap>(bitmap);
            WeakReference<Bitmap> bm2 = new WeakReference<Bitmap>(bitmapPicture);
            picture.setImageBitmap(bm2.get());

Everything works fine untill I change orientation. When I change first time is ok, but when I rotate again I get outofMemory:

Any ideas how can avoid this problem? I try simpleSize, weakreferences, bitmap.recycle. System.gc() and nothing.

My bet is on that you don't properly recycle/cache the image during the activity destroy phase. — STT LCU, Jul 23 '13 at 09:54

I resolve my problem by:

protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        bitmapPicture.recycle();
        bitmap.recycle();
        unbindDrawables(findViewById(R.id.picture_measure_picture));
        System.gc();
    }

    private void unbindDrawables(View view) {
        if (view.getBackground() != null) {
        view.getBackground().setCallback(null);
        }
        if (view instanceof ViewGroup) {
            for (int i = 0; i < ((ViewGroup) view).getChildCount(); i++) {
            unbindDrawables(((ViewGroup) view).getChildAt(i));
            }
        ((ViewGroup) view).removeAllViews();
        }
    }

You should mark your answer as accepted if it did the trick – Mark Schultheiss Jul 23 '13 at 22:55 — Mark Schultheiss, Jul 23 '13 at 22:55

Here how I am doing it. You have to use decodeUri method I have added below to get bitmap from URI.

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            if(data != null){
                Uri dataUri = data.getData();

                Bitmap bitmap;
                try {
                    bitmap = decodeUri(dataUri);
                    imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                }

    }
}

this method will optimize memory and your Exception will never occur again.

   private Bitmap decodeUri(Uri selectedImage) throws FileNotFoundException {

    // Decode image size
    BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImage), null, o);

    // The new size we want to scale to
    final int REQUIRED_SIZE = 140;

    // Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
    int width_tmp = o.outWidth, height_tmp = o.outHeight;
    int scale = 1;
    while (true) {
        if (width_tmp / 2 < REQUIRED_SIZE
           || height_tmp / 2 < REQUIRED_SIZE) {
            break;
        }
        width_tmp /= 2;
        height_tmp /= 2;
        scale *= 2;
    }

    // Decode with inSampleSize
    BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    o2.inSampleSize = scale;
    return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImage), null, o2);

}

P.S:- This decodeUri method i read somewhere on SO, is not my code. Cheers!!

use imageloader class.This will resolve bitmap out of memory exception problem.
