java.lang.OutOfMemoryError while decoding URL into Bitmap Android?

Question

I have created android application which has images which I am decoding from URL. I am getting following error while decoding URL into Bitmap. Its occurring on random phones. What is best case the error doesnt occur.

Following is error:

Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
       at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeStream(BitmapFactory.java)
       at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:663)
       at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:735)

This is code i used to decode image url:

  Bitmap mIcon11 = null;
String filePath = imageURL;
InputStream in = null;
in = new java.net.URL(filePath).openStream();
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inSampleSize = 8;
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
o.inPurgeable = true;
mIcon11 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(in);
return mIcon11;

I don't want it to crash in any case.

Please help

Before doing anything with bitmap you have to go through android's Loading Large Bitmaps Efficiently section http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html — Praveena, Nov 09 '14 at 06:21

You can go with universial image loader liabrary. It is having good handling for images also provide cache for them. https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader

You can use:- ImageLoader.getInstance().loadImageSync(uri, targetImageSize, options);

Hi vo12 USE Aquery (https://code.google.com/p/android-query/wiki/ImageLoading) or universal library(https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader) to manage the decoding the image or managing images these are best in my opinion i also faced similar issue i used these and now outofmemory error is rare.

In my case i had fixed this type of error by reducing the WIDTH and HEIGHT of the image.It might be in your case too and error was same as yours "Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError".carefully go through your all images u have used in your application, it might be some of images will have different width/height than others images.I think your will crash with some specific device,not with all android devices(because i my scenario,my app was not able to open with samsung s3,s4 note 2,xperia c etc,but all doing good). Actually its cause by images is not adjustable on to the device screen.

Hi images size are same. Actually I am setting wallpaper and it needa bitmap object as input so while decoding it fails — virendrao, Nov 09 '14 at 12:36
