Android: Strange out of memory issue while loading an image to a Bitmap object
i am downloading images from Url and displaying them. At download time it is giving
out of memory error : bitmap size exceeds VM budget.
I am using drawable. Code is below:
HttpClient httpclient= new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response=(HttpResponse)httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
HttpEntity entity= response.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity=new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
Bitmap useThisBitmap =
Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm,bm.getWidth(),bm.getHeight(), true);
bm.recycle();
BitmapDrawable bt= new BitmapDrawable(useThisBitmap);
System.gc();
Here is the error:
`05-28 14:55:47.251: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(4188):
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget`

Use decodeStream(is, outPadding, opts) with
BitmapFactory.Options opts=new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inDither=false; //Disable Dithering mode
opts.inPurgeable=true; //Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory, the Bitmap can be cleared
opts.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
opts.inTempStorage=new byte[32 * 1024];

You could check the image size and then downsample it by appropriate factor.
See this question: Handling large Bitmaps

This issue seems to have been reported several times, here and here for instance...
sorry Shalini but if it's the same issue, it seems that there is no solution at all...
The only advice of Romain Guy is to use less memory...
So, good luck to think your stuff differently...

Finally, after resample the image as suggested above, you may call bitmap_file.recycle().

The FACT is that there is a BUG on some Android versions, particularly version 2.1 fails all the time with issues like this one.
I released an app in which I have took a lot of care on resource use. I have even deleted a lot of bitmaps that I were using and now they are created on the fly using graphic primitives. I also recycle bitmaps when no using them. And of course I have checked that I have no memory leaks in my app: the used memory does NOT grow without control, it keeps all the time within reasonable values.
Although I have invest a lot of effort on trying to avoid this problem, I continue getting lots of annoying exceptions like that from 2.1 and 2.1-update1 devices. I am using critercism now to report crashes, and I have seen that It occurs even when the app is using just 4 megabytes of RAM, four times less than the 16M of heap size that every Android device must have for an app -and the fact is that most of devices these days have heap sizes bigger than 16M-.
All my bitmaps have a size of 800x480 pixels, that on the worst case as ARGB_8888 may not occupy more than 1.5MB each one, but it crashes trying to load one when having just 4 megabytes occupied, so there should be at least another 12 MB free. And most of my Bitmaps are loaded as ARGB_4444 that occupies a half of memory, I only use ARGB_8888 when the bitmaps looks really poor with 4444.
So for me it is pretty clear that there is something on these Android versions that is not working fine. 99'9% of this crashes comes from 2.1 and 2.1-update, and the rest may be explained by other punctual reasons.

I've tried many things this is what works.
BitmapFactory.Options opts=new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inDither=false; //Disable Dithering mode
opts.inPurgeable=true;
opts.inScale=8;
///after you use your images
System.gc();

This is a practical answer, what I tried to avoid this problem at Run-time. And it also solved my problem.
Runtime.getRuntime().gc();
Calling Garbage Collector is a good Idea.

Bitmap Size Exceed VM budget In android

In my android app i have set the image on ImageView capture by camera. its working fine. but when i capture image and back to the screen with setting that image on imageview and if i do this 3 to 4 time i got This ERROR BITMAP SIZE EXCEEDS VM BUDGETS ...................please need any solution for it.
this is my code below :
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 4;
options.inTempStorage = new byte[16 * 1024];
image_from_camera.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(
"/sdcard/"+chore_string+".jpg", options));
i have done using bitmap.recycle(); or System.gc();
but this is not working . i need to have free the memory from bitmap when again camera button click to take second picture in app. PLEASE NEED ANY HELP........
THANKS. ...

increasing the value of the inSampleSize will decrease the memory overhead required to load the image. Change it to 8,12 or 16... and the image should eventually load but it might not look very good.
However, it seems like you might be using a good bit of memory prior to the load.
Use System.getRuntime() to get the runtime and then see what your max memory, total memory and free memory are to better understand how much space you have.
It's possible you are leaking memory prior to this allocation.
http://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Runtime.html
also (annoyingly) if you are using a device that can't run android 3.0 not all of the memory used will show up in the runtime calls. consider using a 3.0 device to more fully understand the memory usage.

Android Bitmap freeing memory - none of this works

I get "bitmap size exceeds VM budget", eventually with my app. So I added all of these things to help alleviate the increasing memory footprint
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inTempStorage = new byte[32*1024];
options.inDither=false; //Disable Dithering mode
options.inPurgeable=true; //Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory, the Bitmap can be cleared
options.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
options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565;
Drawable pulled = BitmapDrawable.createFromResourceStream(null, null, conn.getInputStream(), "galleryImage", options);
I am also using weakhashmaps, recycling, System.gc()
and all this successfully PROLONGES the crash. where a device with a 32M heap initially would have only been able to handle a few images before crashing, now it can handle a dozen, but this doesn't fix the problem. The problem is the BitMap method is leaking memory and simply will not clear.
How do I fix this? The images are of size 256x357

If you want to really make sure those Bitmaps are freed, you have to call recycle() on those Bitmaps that are no longer needed. If you need all of them, then recycle least recently used ones (and re-load them, again when needed).

You should try to use drawable.setCallback(null); when you don't need a drawable anymore, because even if you're using a WeakHashMap, they can still be attached to the context through their callback attribute.

I was dealing with ImageView and i solved the memory problem using imageView.clearAnimation(); before to assign the new bitmap and now i have no memory error.

android how to load/save original size Bitmap with no OutOfMemory

I read many discussions about the inSampleSize OutOfMemory dilemma.
Cannot get a good solution so i ask a question about it.
Im currently loading a bitmap with inSampleSize=4.
That will give me a Bitmap with the size 648x388.
Original On disk size is 2592x1592.
Im writing text on 648x388 bitmap and saving it back to disk.
Im writing on the 648x388 because the 2592x1592 give me OutOfMemory .
The way it works is that there can be 1-10 648x388 Bitmaps to be saved in a while loop.
I want to change this loop to save 1-10 2592x1592 Bitmaps.
How can i securely load the 2592x1592?
I don care about the resolution going down 60% or more.
As long as the Bitmap has the same size 2592x1592.
Is there a way to maybe keep the size but make Bitmap thinner,
removing color without making quality bad.
My first thought was going something like this to get the biggest bitmap i could get:
I have not tested this but get a feeling it's a bad way
boolean work = true;
int insample = 2;
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
while(work){
try{
options.inSampleSize = insample;
bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath,options);
work = false;
}catch(Exception e){
insample++;
}
}
any help would be grate.

Image processing requires a lot of memory. you cant use the whole bitmap and just modify it on your phone. use a web service for that. upload, process, download. sorry there is no other way a decoded bitmap just takes a lot of memory.
And by the way you cant catch an outOFMemory Exception. the app just crashes.

There's a hard limit on process size in Android and a 4 mega-pixel image at four bytes a pixel will hit it all by itself (on many devices), without any room for your program.
I think you are going to need to do one of two things: Create a web service to do the image processing on a server/in the cloud; or learn to do your image processing "on-the-fly" by manipulating the data directly instead of using a bitmap.

Android out of memory on image capture

I have an Activity which takes photos (with full possible resolution, so quite large), the application have then the chance to analyze them. Only one photo is handled at a time. The problem is that I run in to a "Out of memory" after 4 - 5 photos. I see
dalvikvm-heap Out of memory on a 5070745-byte allocation
(the byte size varies) followed by
Camera-JNI Couldn't allocate byte array for JPEG data
My application does not crash but as it appears to me the Camera simply becomes unable to deliver the images from this point on. I pay attention to memory usage in my application but here it seems that there is a memory leak somewhere outside and I'm asking me how can I cope with this. Any solution approaches existing for this?

This may not be exactly what you are trying to do, but in order to display multiple large pictures (4-6 MB) on a grid view, I found this code to create a smaller bitmap with lower quality, to avoid out-of-memory situations:
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 5;
options.inPurgeable = true;
options.inInputShareable = true;
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/sdcard/myapp/" + filesFound.get(position), options);
The options are the important part, and by varying the settings, I managed to take memory down from where it would crash, to around 28MB when I started using the inSampleSize. It further went down with the inPurgeable and inInputShareable settings set to true. My activity is still sluggish, but it's much better.
For your application, if it can analyze a bitmap, the above code may shrink down the memory usage enough to make it work. I'm still new to Android, so it's possible this may not work at all.. ;-).

Since you run out of memory after 4-5 pictures you probably arent calling yourBitmap.recycle(); after it has been saved to the SD-card?
Also in the onPictureTaken() method you could save the tempData from the picture into a bitmap using the Bitmap.Config.RGB_565 instead of ARGB(default) if you don't need the alpha channel.
// Create options to help use less memory
Options opt = new Options();
opt.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.RGB_565;
// Decode the tempdata into a bitmap, with the options as the last argument
bitmapFromRawCameraTempData = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(rawCameraTempData, 0, rawCameraTempData.length, opt);
