Android - Detect OpenGLRenderer out of memory

Question

is there a way to detect that OpenGLRenderer has run out of memory ? I'm setting big image as drawable to ImageView background and on device with FullHD display sometimes the ImageView stays blank and I get this in logcat

D/OpenGLRenderer﹕ GL error from OpenGLRenderer: 0x505
E/OpenGLRenderer﹕ Out of memory!

I'd like to detect this has happened and set smaller image as background.
Thanks

I would love to know this as well – airowe May 02 '17 at 14:16 — airowe, May 02 '17 at 14:16

Hasn't happened in a long time since I asked this question. What i would do know is

Place your images in drawable-nodpi folder, Android OS usually does some resizing with images in hdpi mdpi etc folders
I wouldn't set a high resolution image as background in first place
Use SVG if your graphic designer can make them and the picture can be made as SVG
Most of today's devices have enough RAM for loading big images so it shouldn't really be an issue

hope it helps ...
