Android:java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allo

Question

I want to show the Bitmap image in ImageView from sd card which is stored already. After run my application is crash and getting OutOfMemoryError error of:

(java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 23970828 byte allocation with 2097152 free bytes and 2MB until OOM)

I have no idea or why its out of memory. I think my image size is very large so I tried to change it.

Iterator<String> it = imageArray.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
  Object element = it.next();
  String objElement = element.toString();
  Log.e("objElement ", " = " + objElement);
  final ImageView imageView = new ImageView (getContext());
  final ProgressBar pBar = new ProgressBar(getContext(), null, 
                                           android.R.attr.progressBarStyleSmall);
  imageView.setTag(it);
  pBar.setTag(it);

  imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.img_placeholder);
  pBar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

  if (objElement.endsWith(mp3_Pattern)) {
     Log.e("Mp3 ", " ends with ");
     pBar.setVisibility(View.GONE);
     imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.audio_control);
  }
  if (objElement.endsWith(png_Pattern)) {
     Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(objElement);
     int size = Math.min(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
     int x = (bitmap.getWidth() - size) / 2;
     int y = (bitmap.getHeight() - size) / 2;
     Bitmap bitmap_Resul = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, x, y, size, size);
     Log.e("bitmap_Resul "," = "+ bitmap_Resul);

     if (bitmap_Resul != bitmap) {
        bitmap.recycle();
     }
     imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap_Resul);
     Log.e("png_Pattern ", " ends with ");
     Log.e(" bitmap "," = " + bitmap);
  }

  holder.linearLayout.addView(imageView);
  holder.linearLayout.addView(pBar);

The log cat information:

Answer 1

For me, the problem was that my .png file was being de-compressed to be a really huge bitmap in memory, because the image had very large dimensions (even though the file size was tiny).

So the fix was to simply resize the image :)

Answer 2

This worked for me: just move images from drawable folder to drawable-hdpi.

Answer 3

If uploading an image, try reducing the image quality, which is the second parameter of the Bitmap. This was the solution in my case. Previously it was 90, then I tried with 60 (as it is in the code below now).

Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,60,baos);
byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();

Answer 4

Try the simplest one. Maybe Your app is crashing because your image size (in MB) is too large so it is not allocating space for that. So before pasting your image in drawable just reduce the size by any viewer software or if you are taking image from gallery at the run time than before saving it compress your bitmap. It worked for me. definitely for u will be.

Answer 5

I'm a newbie in android developing but I hope my solution helps, it works on my condition perfectly. Im using Imageview and set it's background to "src" because im trying to make a frame animation. I got the same error but when I tried to code this it worked

int ImageID = this.Resources.GetIdentifier(questionPlay[index].Image.ToLower(), "anim", PackageName);
            imgView.SetImageResource(ImageID);
            AnimationDrawable animation = (AnimationDrawable)imgView.Drawable;
            animation.Start();
            animation.Dispose();

Answer 6

Soluton try this in your Manifest File and use Glide Library

compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'

    **Use Glide Library and Override size to less size;**

 if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(message.getPicture())) {
            Glide.with(mContext).load(message.getPicture())
                    .thumbnail(0.5f)
                    .crossFade()
                    .transform(new CircleTransform(mContext))
                    .diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.ALL)
                    .into(holder.imgProfile);
        } 

android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

android:largeHeap="true"

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:largeHeap="true"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Use this library

  compile 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:3.7.0'   

Its Working Happy Coding

public class CircleTransform extends BitmapTransformation {
    public CircleTransform(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    protected Bitmap transform(BitmapPool pool, Bitmap toTransform, int outWidth, int outHeight) {
        return circleCrop(pool, toTransform);
    }

    private static Bitmap circleCrop(BitmapPool pool, Bitmap source) {
        if (source == null) return null;

        int size = Math.min(source.getWidth(), source.getHeight());
        int x = (source.getWidth() - size) / 2;
        int y = (source.getHeight() - size) / 2;

        // TODO this could be acquired from the pool too
        Bitmap squared = Bitmap.createBitmap(source, x, y, size, size);

        float r = size / 2f;
        canvas.drawCircle(r, r, r, paint);
        return result;
    }

    @Override
