OutOfMemory Error Android:

Question

I am try to converting image to bitmap using following bit of code:

//Here file is the image file
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath());

Now the problem is some times i got the OutOfMemoryError. I don't know when the error exactly happened.

My simple solution add try catch add and avoid crash. I know it is not the right way.

How to handle OutOfMemoryError here?

You can try to play around with the BitmapFactory.Options. But it is possible that the file is too big to load in memory as a Bitmap. — Joris, Aug 22 '14 at 08:27
you can take a look at [Out of memory error in android bitmap](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24203985/out-of-memory-error-in-android-bitmap/24204533#24204533) — Kaushik, Aug 22 '14 at 08:54
@Amsheer did you read the documentation for BitmapFactory.Options? As is also statedx in the answer there is a field inSampleSize with the description "If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original image, returning a smaller image to save memory." — Joris, Aug 22 '14 at 09:32
I mean i am also use decodeSampledBitmapFromUri(String path, int reqWidth, int reqHeight){} method is it what you mean? In some other place — Amsheer, Aug 22 '14 at 09:34

Add this options in decode in order to optimize memory:

BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bmOptions.inPurgeable = true;
bmOptions.inSampleSize = 2;
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(file.getAbsolutePath(), bmOptions);
