The problem that I'm addressing is known to be in devices with 16 mb of heap memory, and I need to solve it. I have threads getting images from a server (Big Images) and having them cached then displayed. The problem is that I run out of memory. To explain a little further I'm posting my log cat as well as some code:
public class Test extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
ImageView paint, wheels, shadow;
Button b;
int j = 2;
int i = 1;
String pathToWheels, pathToPaint, pathToShadow;
String stringAngle;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MemoryInfo dbm = new MemoryInfo();
Debug.getMemoryInfo(dbm);
b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
b.setOnClickListener(this);
wheels = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
paint = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
shadow = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
while (i < 13) {
stringAngle = Integer.toString(i);
String pathToWheels = url;
String pathToPaint = url;
String pathToShadow = url;
if (Cache.getCacheFile(pathToWheels) == null) {
ImageDownloader downloader1 = new ImageDownloader(wheels);
downloader1
.execute(url);
} else if (Cache.getCacheFile(pathToShadow) == null) {
ImageDownloader downloader2 = new ImageDownloader(shadow);
downloader2
.execute(url);
} else if (Cache.getCacheFile(pathToPaint) == null) {
ImageDownloader downloader = new ImageDownloader(paint);
downloader
.execute(url);
}
i++;
}
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Pause",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (v.getId() == R.id.button1) {
if (j == 13)
{
j = 1;
}
String s = Integer.toString(j);
wheels.setImageBitmap(Cache
.getCacheFile(url));
paint.setImageBitmap(Cache
.getCacheFile(url));
shadow.setImageBitmap(Cache
.getCacheFile(url));
j++;
}
}
}
From my cache class:
public static void saveCacheFile(String cacheUri, Bitmap image) {
if(!isCacheWritable()) return;
Log.i("CACHE S",cacheUri);
cache.saveCacheFile(cacheUri, image);
From my CacheStore class:
public Bitmap getCacheFile(String cacheUri) {
if(bitmapMap.containsKey(cacheUri)) return (Bitmap)bitmapMap.get(cacheUri);
if(!cacheMap.containsKey(cacheUri)) return null;
String fileLocalName = cacheMap.get(cacheUri);
File fullCacheDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(),cacheDir);
File fileUri = new File(fullCacheDir.toString(), fileLocalName);
if(!fileUri.exists()) return null;
Log.i("CACHE", "File "+cacheUri+" has been found in the Cache");
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.toString());
Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bm, 480, 320, true);
bitmapMap.put(cacheUri, bm);
return bm;
}
The app crashes at this line: Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileUri.toString()); where I'm running out of memory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks for reading.
