DataOutputStream write causing outofmemory error

Question

I am doing a https post of large file using HttpsURLConnection in chunks using link -

I am getting fatal exception -

06-09 11:44:47.041 E/AndroidRuntime( 6250): FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-712

HPROF Analysis -

Leak Suspect

One instance of "libcore.net.http.RetryableOutputStream" loaded by "" occupies 134,216,008 (82.46%) bytes. The memory is accumulated in one instance of "byte[]" loaded by "".

Details

buf java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream @ 0x444fd460 16 134,215,984

content libcore.net.http.RetryableOutputStream @ 0x444fd448 24 134,216,008

out java.io.DataOutputStream @ 0x4467f918 24 48

Can someone please help me getting rid of this.

I have added DataOutputStream.flush as well but for no use

    // read file and write to buffer
    bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);

    int pktSend = 0;
    // continue till bytes read not null
    while (bytesRead > 0) {
        dos.write(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
        bytesAvailable = fileInputStream.available();
        bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);
        bytesRead = fileInputStream.read(buffer, 0, bufferSize);
        pktSend++;
        dos.flush();
    }

probably not related, but you should have: `dos.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);` — marcinj, Jun 09 '14 at 06:40
DataOutputStream stucks at write() method after adding HttpUrlConnectionObject.setChunkedStreamingMode(maxBufferSize); in the code. Can someone help ?? — Chauhan, Jun 11 '14 at 04:57

maybe you can try below settings on your code :

        // set the request mode as POST
        urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");

        // disable using cache.
        urlConnection.setUseCaches(false);

        // enable Output/Input.
        urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
        urlConnection.setDoInput(true);
