Android app crashes with out of memory

Question

I am developing an App with 4 tabs.

Tab 1: Expandable listview with 20 groups
Tab 2: Expandable listview with 30 groups
Tab 3: Gridview with 22 items (3 column per row) [scrollable] 4.Tab 4: Grid view with 24 items (3 column per row) [scrollable]

My Gridview adapter implementation is below:(Same is used for both tab 3 and 4)

public class LogoImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter{
    private Context context;
    private List<Integer> logoIds;
    public LogoImageAdapter(Context context, List<Integer> logoIds) {
        this.context = context;
        this.logoIds = logoIds;
    }
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return logoIds.size();
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return logoIds.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return logoIds.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View gridView;
        if (convertView == null) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            gridView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_item, null);
        } else {
            gridView = convertView;
        }
        /*TextView title = (TextView) gridView.findViewById(R.id.siteNameTV);
            title.setText("Title_" + position);*/
        ImageView logoImage = (ImageView) gridView.findViewById(R.id.logoImageView);
        logoImage.setImageResource(logoIds.get(position));
        return gridView;
    }
}

Thing is that the app consumes almost 100 MB memory and frequently crashes. I think the app crashing is due to my gridview implementation. Where I am making a mistake?

You are using big images. Try increasing the heap size. And possibly using less and smaller images. — Phantômaxx, Oct 05 '17 at 09:35
@sushildlh I have total 50 + plus images which all total accounts 3.99MB — MrG, Oct 05 '17 at 09:46
Are you saying adding size of all the drawables should be less or equal 100kb? or one image should be less or equal 100kb? @sushildlh — MrG, Oct 05 '17 at 09:50
yeah try to do with 50kb to 80kb not more. And remeber for the future projects also — sushildlh, Oct 05 '17 at 09:54
So you mean adding size of all the drawables should be less or equal 100kb. One question does scrolling causes redrawing of the gridview which is causing the issue? — MrG, Oct 05 '17 at 09:57
@MrG dude, just use Glide as i described in my answer, leave your images as it is — Hank Moody, Oct 05 '17 at 11:30

Optimize your images (which in your logoIds list) with one of available solutions, such as

This or just reExport in right way from your PhotoShop(or whatever you use).

And another AND RIGHT way is to generate diffrent icons for diffrent dpi(see tools)

And i strongly recommend you to use Glide or Picasso to load images inside lists, cause they have build-in caching which is good for recycled views

UPD: sample of use Glide to load resources

Glide.with(convertView.getContext())
.load(R.id.resource_id)
.into(imageView);

And use ViewHolder pattern in your adapter, to avoid rebinding views on recycling (gridView.findViewById(R.id.logoImageView))

@MrG But note, that this solution(i mean `largeHeap="true"`) is only makes your app to have a bit large RAM memory space, but it's not solution for your problem – Hank Moody Oct 05 '17 at 09:43
@AmitVaghela while this may work, allocating too much RAM over a short period of time is denied by the system. Even with largeHeap, allocating a lot of images over a too short period of time will throw an OOME. And even largeHeap has its limitations. The best way to solve the OOME is to use largeHeap **in combination with** either a library (like picasso) or resizing the images. – Zoe Oct 05 '17 at 09:55

@Zoe hey man, this is a protected question it can not be deleted that easily and plus it is a stackoverflow link. all answer has descriptions. – Amit Vaghela Oct 05 '17 at 10:23
@AmitVaghela the same rules apply. Just because it's on SO doesn't mean it's except from the link rules – Zoe Oct 05 '17 at 10:45
