out of memory exception android in android?

Question

i am making an application and on the start of application i want to display a picture but i get this out of memory exception. i used a lot of shared Preferences in the code that is not yet executed. so this rises 2 questions -

is memory for shared Preferences allocated at the beginning itself ?

and is the memory for shared Preferences allocated in the apps heap memory ?

should i clear the shared preferences and use database instead . will that solve the problem ?

Why do you think that SharedPreferences is the problem? What size is the image? — Simon, Oct 05 '13 at 13:32
size of the image is too small 100kb and moreover i scaled it with BitmapFactory to the size of the display .so the image size should become more small !! — sarath, Oct 05 '13 at 14:12
yes im running it on emulator and on phone . both give the same result — sarath, Oct 05 '13 at 14:12
a) Show your error log that shows exactly why your application is crashing. b) Out of memory errors are mostly when dealing with images. — Sharjeel, Oct 05 '13 at 14:31

Android hardware must at least support 2048x2048.

For OpenGL I used:

int[] maxSize = new int[1];
gl.glGetIntegerv(GL10.GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, maxSize, 0);

For Nexus 4 it equals to 4096
For Sansung 2 it equals to 4096

You can calculate [(Height in pixels) x (length in pixels) x (bit depth)] / 8 / 1024 = image size in kilobytes (KB)

So be sure that you have proper image size.

Hope it will help,
