java.lang.OutOfMemoryError at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeAsset(Native Method)

Question

I am trying to perform an animation on a button click.. the steps are as follows on button click..

the button image changes
an animation plays
next layout is displayed..

But am getting an out of memory exception..

When the animation file was not added to the project there was no error. But since the addition of the anime there is the problem.

I am using 3 class files here(home_screen, button_anime and home)

home_screen.java receives the button click information, changes the button image and transfers to button_anime class the animation file is initiated in the button_anime.java and after anime plays next layout is displayed from home.java

The log cat is as follows..

My home_screen.java

home.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { <-- error happens somewhere here

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.home1);
        Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(),b); 
        home.setBackgroundDrawable(d); <-- this dose not work..
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(Home_Screen.this, Button_Anime.class);
        startActivity(myIntent);
    }
});

You're out of memory. It may be the bitmap is too big, it may be that you have a leak elsewhere. You need to look at your memory use in a heap profiler to tell what's going on. — Gabe Sechan, Jun 10 '14 at 06:29
all my images are btw 30kb and 50kb.. so how do i check my heap rofiler?? @GabeSechan — user3214173, Jun 10 '14 at 06:31
THere's one built into eclipse. You should look for runaway numbers of some class or large allocations that don't make sense. — Gabe Sechan, Jun 10 '14 at 06:32
use android:largeheap="true" in manifest file and use the resize images before your took in to your app.this out of memory exception cause for your app takes run at large heap. — prakash, Jun 10 '14 at 06:35
@GabeSechan is there a plugin for eclipse ?? heap profiler?? what is the name?? — user3214173, Jun 10 '14 at 06:40
@user3214173 don't use large heap unless you really need one. — Raghunandan, Jun 10 '14 at 06:40
@user3214173 you can use Memory Analyzer Tool for eclipse. DO osme profiling — Raghunandan, Jun 10 '14 at 06:40
@Raghunandan i got the heap pls check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24155628/out-of-memory-exception-analyzing-hprof-file-dump — user3214173, Jun 11 '14 at 06:06

_img is your imageview. you have to decode your image and set its size like below i am doing.

 File imgFile = new File(_path); // path of your file
    if (imgFile.exists()) {
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(imgFile);
        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inSampleSize = 8;
        options.inPurgeable = true;
        options.inScaled = true;
        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fis, null,options);
       _img.setImageBitmap(bm);

Voted up. This seems to revolve my issue, but I think there is still a memory leak – Eagle Oct 26 '15 at 01:20
Very goood. keep it up – Pir Fahim Shah Mar 24 '16 at 11:44

You should use decodeResource(Resources res, int id, BitmapFactory.Options opts), and specify the inSampleSize -

If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original image, returning a smaller image to save memory.

where should i use this?? can u provide an example? also the SampleSize value is it size in kb?? or dimentions?? @yushulx – user3214173 Jun 10 '14 at 07:17
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.home1, opts);For example, inSampleSize == 4 returns an image that is 1/4 the width/height of the original, and 1/16 the number of pixels. – yushulx Jun 10 '14 at 08:42
