I want to upload a file to net server use the codes. but when the size > 6M ,throw a FATAL EXCEPTION java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

    HttpURLConnection conn;
    URL url = new URL(mServerUrl);
    conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    conn.setDoInput(true);
    conn.setUseCaches(false);
    conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
    conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", file.getContentType());
    conn.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
    conn.setRequestProperty("Charset", "UTF-8");
    conn.connect();
    DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());

    int totalSize = 0;
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    int len = 0;
    while ((len = file.getInStream().read(buffer, 0, 1024)) != -1) {

        totalSize += len;
        WDLog.i("totalSize = " + totalSize);
        os.write(buffer, 0, len);

    }

    file.getInStream().close();
    os.flush();
    os.close();

what could i do to solve the question?? thanks

this line throw the error.

Could you post the Logcat messages? which line are you getting the exception. — Karthik, Dec 26 '11 at 11:22

Upload the file to the server in chunk by chunk basis. example. first upload 1024 bytes of data after getting response from server upload the next 1024 bytes of data and so on until the all the data of the file is uploaded.

I solve the question like this: in while Cycle add if (totalSize > 5* 1024 * 1024) break out and do ( os.flush(); os.close();conn.disconnect(); System.gc();) don't close the file inputstream. and if unfinish redo upload function. – Ray Dec 27 '11 at 02:56

If you testing this code on emulator, make sure that your RAM size close to real device value.
