createBitmap causes an outofmemory error - android

In my app, I am creating a bitmap from its colors code like this :
int width=getImageWidth();
int height=getImageHeight();
int[] array=getbitmap();
int[] colorsAsIntegers = new int[width*height];
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
while (i<width*height*4) {
colorsAsIntegers[j] = Color.argb(array[i], array[i+1], array[i+2],
array[i+3]);
i += 4;
j++;
}
myBitmap=Bitmap.createBitmap(colorsAsIntegers,
width,
height,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
And often I get the outofmemoryerror :(
So how can I use the BitmapFactory optimisation to avoid this problem?
because I don't have an input stream or a file, I only have an array
containing my pixels
Thank you

Couple of things....
Android has really serious problems with bitmaps. They're allocated in non-garbage collected memory.Which is fine. They do get garbage-collected when the owning Bitmap gets collected. What they don't do is relocate while the heap is being compacted. This can cause premature out-of-memory errors due to heap fragmentation. The solution: call Bitmap.recycle as soon as you're done with a bitmap. This frees the non-gc memory, and reduces fragmentation problems.
You can also reduce memory pressure by creating an empty bitmap, and then copying pixels in row by row from a single small buffer. Java gc doesn't particularly like huge arrays either (although large arrays can be relocated during a gc). The performance hit is tiny, and negligible compared to the performance hit from a premature garbage collect. Doing that will reduce your memory usage 49.99 percent.

Try downsampling your image as shown here

please decode the file first,for this use this code:
public static Bitmap new_decode(File f) {
// decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
o.inDither = false; // Disable Dithering mode
o.inPurgeable = true; // Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory,
// the Bitmap can be cleared
o.inInputShareable = true; // Which kind of reference will be used to
// recover the Bitmap data after being
// clear, when it will be used in the future
try {
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
// Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
final int REQUIRED_SIZE = 300;
int width_tmp = o.outWidth, height_tmp = o.outHeight;
int scale = 1;
while (true) {
if (width_tmp / 1.5 < REQUIRED_SIZE && height_tmp / 1.5 < REQUIRED_SIZE)
break;
width_tmp /= 1.5;
height_tmp /= 1.5;
scale *= 1.5;
}
// decode with inSampleSize
BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// o2.inSampleSize=scale;
o.inDither = false; // Disable Dithering mode
o.inPurgeable = true; // Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory,
// the Bitmap can be cleared
o.inInputShareable = true; // Which kind of reference will be used to
// recover the Bitmap data after being
// clear, when it will be used in the future
// return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
try {
// return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null,
// null);
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, null);
System.out.println(" IW " + width_tmp);
System.out.println("IHH " + height_tmp);
int iW = width_tmp;
int iH = height_tmp;
return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, iW, iH, true);
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
// clearCache();
// System.out.println("bitmap creating success");
System.gc();
return null;
// System.runFinalization();
// Runtime.getRuntime().gc();
// System.gc();
// decodeFile(f);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
You can use android:largeHeap="true" to request a larger heap size
mention this in manifest file to use large heap.

What does BitmapFactory.Options do?

What does BitmapFactory.Options in android.graphics.BitmapFactory.Options do?
There is no theoretical explanation in the android sdk reference manual about this class, it only contains the explanation about the methods of the class.
Bitmapfactory is mainly used for Scaling
Bitmap lBmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.Drawable.ic_dolphin);
It gets the "dolpin" image and it will reduce the image size, if we dnt use bitmapfactory then it leads to insufficient memory allocations
It's used to pass options to the BitmapFactory - as you might expect :)
For example, you can use it to explicitly scale the Bitmap up or down from the source.
See this example
This method is used to create bitmap of given specific size which is stored in sdcard.
public Bitmap decodeFile(String path,int size) {
try {
// Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, o);
// The new size we want to scale to
final int REQUIRED_SIZE = size;
// Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
int scale = 1;
while (o.outWidth / scale / 2 >= REQUIRED_SIZE && o.outHeight / scale / 2 >= REQUIRED_SIZE)
scale *= 2;
// Decode with inSampleSize
BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o2.inSampleSize = scale;
return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, o2);
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

Suggestions to avoid bitmap Out of Memory error

I am working on an android application. The application has a view containing lots of image. I had an error, I will try to give as much information as possible hoping someone can give me some suggestions.
The application was working great on all the local testings. However, I received lots of crashes from users: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
This is the stack trace
0 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget

9 at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeResource(BitmapFactory.java:385)
My biggest problem is that I was not able to reproduce the issue locally even on old devices.
I have implemented lots of things to try to resolve this:
No memory leaks: I made sure there is no memory leaks at all. I removed the views when I dont need them. I also recycled all the bitmaps and made sure the garbage collector is working as it should. And I implemented all the necessary steps in the onDestroy() method
Image size scaled correctly: Before getting the image I get its dimension and calculate the inSampleSize.
Heap size: I also detect the Max Heap size before getting the image and make sure there is enough space. If there is not enough I rescale the image accordingly.
Code to calculate the correct inSampleSize
public static int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight)
{
// Raw height and width of image
final int height = options.outHeight;
final int width = options.outWidth;
int inSampleSize = 1;
if(height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth)
{
if(width > height)
{
inSampleSize = Math.round((float) height / (float) reqHeight);
}
else
{
inSampleSize = Math.round((float) width / (float) reqWidth);
}
}
return inSampleSize;
}
Code to get the bitmap
// decodes image and scales it to reduce memory consumption
private static Bitmap decodeFile(File file, int newWidth, int newHeight)
{// target size
try
{
Bitmap bmp = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContext().getContentResolver(), Uri.fromFile(file));
if(bmp == null)
{
// avoid concurrence
// Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options option = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// option = getBitmapOutput(file);
option.inDensity = res.getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi < DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH ? 120 : 240;
option.inTargetDensity = res.getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi;
if(newHeight > 0 && newWidth > 0)
option.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(option, newWidth, newWidth);
option.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
byte[] decodeBuffer = new byte[12 * 1024];
option.inTempStorage = decodeBuffer;
option.inPurgeable = true;
option.inInputShareable = true;
option.inScaled = true;
bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(file), null, option);
if(bmp == null)
{
return null;
}
}
else
{
int inDensity = res.getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi < DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH ? 120 : 240;
int inTargetDensity = res.getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi;
if(inDensity != inTargetDensity)
{
int newBmpWidth = (bmp.getWidth() * inTargetDensity) / inDensity;
int newBmpHeight = (bmp.getHeight() * inTargetDensity) / inDensity;
bmp = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, newBmpWidth, newBmpHeight, true);
}
}
return bmp;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("Error calling Application.decodeFile Method params: " + Arrays.toString(new Object[]{file }), e);
}
return null;
}
Code to calculate image size based on Heap size for older devices
private void calculateImagesSize()
{
// only for android older than HoneyComb that does not support large heap
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Constants.HONEYCOMB)
{
long maxHeapSize = Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory();
long maxImageHeap = maxHeapSize - 10485760;
if(Application.getResource().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi >= DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_XHIGH)
{
maxImageHeap -= 12 * 1048576;
}
if(maxImageHeap < (30 * 1048576))
{
int screenHeight = Math.min(Application.getResource().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels, Application.getResource()
.getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels);
long maxImageSize = maxImageHeap / 100;
long maxPixels = maxImageSize / 4;
long maxHeight = (long) Math.sqrt(maxPixels / 1.5);
if(maxHeight < screenHeight)
{
drawableHeight = (int) maxHeight;
drawableWidth = (int) (drawableHeight * 1.5);
}
}
}
}
I think the problem is with the Heap, maybe sometimes the os doesn't allow the application to use the maxheapsize. Also my biggest problem is that I was not able to reproduce the issue, so when I try a fix I have to wait a little to see if users are still getting the error.
What more could I try to avoid Out of memory issues? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot
just use this function to decode...this is perfect solution for your error..because i also getting same error and i got this solution..
public static Bitmap decodeFile(File f,int WIDTH,int HIGHT){
try {
//Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o);
//The new size we want to scale to
final int REQUIRED_WIDTH=WIDTH;
final int REQUIRED_HIGHT=HIGHT;
//Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
int scale=1;
while(o.outWidth/scale/2>=REQUIRED_WIDTH && o.outHeight/scale/2>=REQUIRED_HIGHT)
scale*=2;
//Decode with inSampleSize
BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o2.inSampleSize=scale;
return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
return null;
}
Hi you have to decode the file . for this try with the following method.
public static Bitmap new_decode(File f) {
// decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
o.inDither = false; // Disable Dithering mode
o.inPurgeable = true; // Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory,
// the Bitmap can be cleared
o.inInputShareable = true; // Which kind of reference will be used to
// recover the Bitmap data after being
// clear, when it will be used in the future
try {
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
// Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
final int REQUIRED_SIZE = 300;
int width_tmp = o.outWidth, height_tmp = o.outHeight;
int scale = 1;
while (true) {
if (width_tmp / 1.5 < REQUIRED_SIZE && height_tmp / 1.5 < REQUIRED_SIZE)
break;
width_tmp /= 1.5;
height_tmp /= 1.5;
scale *= 1.5;
}
// decode with inSampleSize
BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
// o2.inSampleSize=scale;
o.inDither = false; // Disable Dithering mode
o.inPurgeable = true; // Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory,
// the Bitmap can be cleared
o.inInputShareable = true; // Which kind of reference will be used to
// recover the Bitmap data after being
// clear, when it will be used in the future
// return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
try {
// return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null,
// null);
Bitmap bitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, null);
System.out.println(" IW " + width_tmp);
System.out.println("IHH " + height_tmp);
int iW = width_tmp;
int iH = height_tmp;
return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, iW, iH, true);
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
// clearCache();
// System.out.println("bitmap creating success");
System.gc();
return null;
// System.runFinalization();
// Runtime.getRuntime().gc();
// System.gc();
// decodeFile(f);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
By Reducing/Scale size of the Image you can get rid out of the Out of Memory Exception,
Try this
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 6;
Bitmap receipt = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(photo.toString(),options); //From File You can customise on your needs.
I wrote a summary of suggestions in another StackOverFlow question: Android: BitmapFactory.decodeStream() out of memory with a 400KB file with 2MB free heap
actually the problem is with the development os. In android unlike iOS , google people develop this based on camera resolution. Bitmaps take up a lot of memory, especially for rich images like photographs.Different cameras captures images with different pixels(different mobiles have different camera pixel capacity). Here in android based on that pixels only the captured image will take memory. so obviously a high resolution image will not uploaded by a phone with low pixel capacity.
In android os allocates utmost 16MB to every application. If the uploaded image takes more than this then java.lang.OutofMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget will occur and application crashes.
refer this
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/index.html
If u want to avoid OOM, u can catch OOM and increase the sampleSize until the image can be resolved:
private Bitmap getBitmapSafely(Resources res, int id, int sampleSize) {
// res = context.getResources(), id = R.drawable.yourimageid
Bitmap bitmap = null;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inPurgeable = true;
options.inSampleSize = sampleSize;
try {
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res,
id, options);
} catch (OutOfMemoryError oom) {
Log.w("ImageView", "OOM with sampleSize " + sampleSize, oom);
System.gc();
bitmap = getBitmapSafely(res, id, sampleSize + 1);
}
return bitmap;
}
Hope it helps.
It is not suitable to catch the Error, just a workaround.

Check Android image size before load to memory

I've created small app that works with images from gallery or camera.
It all works fine, but.
On device with small screen and small memory size (HTC Desire) I have some images downloaded in full size from other mobile phone, and they are much larger (8MP camera on that phone).
If I try to load that, for my small camera huge image, it will crash immediately.
So, how to implement some kind of check and to downsize that image, but still load it properly?
I do scale images down after they are loaded, but this is something that should be done before the crash appears.
Tnx.

}
you can avoid load the bitmap in memory just setting
inJustDecodeBounds = true
inJustDecodeBounds will allow you to decode only the bounds of the image without decode it. Given height and width of your bitmap you can downsampling it using.
inSampleSize
as the doc stays:
If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original
image, returning a smaller image to save memory.
int tmpWidth = bitmapWidth;
int tmpHeight = bitmapHeigth;
int requiredSize = ...
while (true) {
if (tmpWidth / 2 < requiredSize
|| tmpHeight / 2 < requiredSize)
break;
tmpWidth /= 2;
tmpHeight /= 2;
ratio *= 2;
}
EDIT: for a 32 bit Bitmap the memory required is width * height * 4

android : bitmap size exceeds VM budget

I am using android Camera. Also using auto focusing feature. After capturing image more then 10 times getting the following exception:

how can i get rid from the above mention exception?
Use
Options.inSampleSize
// Decode image size
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
//options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
options.inSampleSize = 8;
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer), null, options);
Take a look at this bug report:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8488
There's a known bug in Android relating to this error message, which doesn't seem to be accepted by Google. There are workarounds in the bug report if this is the problem you're having. I've used them to clear up similar issues.
You can try to do the scaling yourself using BitmapFactory.Options and BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray():
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options;
options.inSampleSize = 4; // might try 8 also
BitmapFactory.decoderByteArray(data, 0, data.length, options);
There are also other options in BitmapFactory.Options to play around with.
You are probably running out of memory because you create a full decoded bitmap before you do the scaling.
Use less memory.
It definitely sounds like you have a memory leak somewhere if it works until the 10th picture is taken. Use the DDMS tools in Eclipse to track memory to try to see where it's happening.
