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

Resize your image before setup to ImageView like this:

Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(_yourImageBitmap, _size, _size, false);

where size is actual size of ImageView. You can reach size by measuring:

imageView.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));

and use next size imageView.getMeasuredWidth() and imageView.getMeasuredHeight() for scaling.
