java.lang.OutOfMemory Exception

Question

Getting java.lang.OutOfMemory Exception -- Bitmap

I know inSampleSize will help me to resolve my issue, but little bit confuse how it has to be use in my code.

Exception line:-

bMapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(tempBM, 0, 0, tempBM.getWidth(),

showPicture() method:

private void showPicture(){
        if(pic!=null) tempBM = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pic);
        Bitmap bMapRotate;
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        if(info.facing == Camera.CameraInfo.CAMERA_FACING_FRONT){
            float[] mirrorY = { -1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1};
            Matrix matrixMirrorY = new Matrix();
            matrixMirrorY.setValues(mirrorY);
            matrix.postConcat(matrixMirrorY);
            bMapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(tempBM, 0, 0, tempBM.getWidth(),
            tempBM.getHeight(), matrix, true);

        }

        if(Utility.isTablet(this)) {
             int orient = getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;

            if(orient==1){
                matrix.postRotate(90);
                bMapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(tempBM, 0,0,tempBM.getWidth(),
                tempBM.getHeight(), matrix ,true);
                tempBM = bMapRotate;
            }

        }else{
            //Get Orientation:
            int orientation;

            if(tempBM.getHeight() < tempBM.getWidth()){
                orientation = 90;
            } else {
                orientation = 0;
            }
            if (orientation != 0) {
                matrix.postRotate(orientation);
                bMapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(tempBM, 0, 0, tempBM.getWidth(),
                        tempBM.getHeight(), matrix, true);

            } else
                bMapRotate = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(tempBM, tempBM.getWidth(),
                        tempBM.getHeight(), true);

            tempBM = bMapRotate;
        }

please tell me what code is at line 685 in CameraAPIActivity.java — , Jan 29 '14 at 05:08
my guess is: `Bitmap.createBitmap(tempBM, 0,0,tempBM.getWidth(),` — gian1200, Jan 29 '14 at 05:09

Bitmaps take up lots of memory, especially big ones. You most likely need to scale the Bitmap down before loading it into memory. This tutorial is a good example of how to go about that.

I think it's because your tempBM is too large to store in memory. You can use BitmapFactory.Options when decoding your resource file to make your bitmap smaller. See this

@suitanshi can you show me by making changes in my existing code – Sun Jan 29 '14 at 05:13
@AbrahimNeil. There's already a training class about using `inSampleSize`, refer to [this](http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html). You can simply copy some code to your project. It's easy to understand. – suitianshi Jan 29 '14 at 05:16

First stop your application from crashing at run time by catching the OutOfMemory error at place which you think can generate this error as below:

try {

...

}
catch(OutOfMemoryError error)  {
    //decide what to do when there is not more memory available
}

(OR)

Runtime.getRuntime().gc();

Calling Garbage Collector is a good Idea.

we should not rely on `gc`. The ideal solution should be scaling `tempBM` down – suitianshi Jan 29 '14 at 05:11
