You are trying to load large image file. Use bitmap.option methods to scale down original image by some factor say 5, so it will req. less amount of memory. and hence will not cause error. Thanks. — Piyush Patel, Apr 01 '11 at 04:53
Use BitmapFactory.Options.inSampleSize. set it to >1 which scales down.(set higher val) — Piyush Patel, Apr 01 '11 at 05:03
@piyushnp, please move your comments to an answer box, so that CapDroid can accept it. — Rajath, Apr 01 '11 at 05:49

Use BitmapFactory.Options.inSampleSize and set it to a value >1 which will scale it down.
