“Bitmap too large to be uploaded into a texture”

Question

I'm loading a bitmap into an ImageView, and seeing this error. I gather this limit relates to a size limit for OpenGL hardware textures (2048x2048). The image I need to load is a pinch-zoom image of about 4,000 pixels high.

I've tried turning off hardware acceleration in the manifest, but no joy.

    <application
        android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
        ....
        >

Is it possible to load an image larger than 2048 pixels into an ImageView?

Answer 1

Use Glide library instead of directly loading into imageview

Glide : https://github.com/bumptech/glide

Glide.with(this).load(Uri.parse(filelocation))).into(img_selectPassportPic);

Answer 2

Addition of the following 2 attributes in (AndroidManifest.xml) worked for me:

android:largeHeap="true"
android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

Answer 3

I ran through same problem, here is my solution. set the width of image same as android screen width and then scales the height

Bitmap myBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(image.getAbsolutePath());
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;
Log.e("Screen width ", " "+width);
Log.e("Screen height ", " "+height);
Log.e("img width ", " "+myBitmap.getWidth());
Log.e("img height ", " "+myBitmap.getHeight());
float scaleHt =(float) width/myBitmap.getWidth();
Log.e("Scaled percent ", " "+scaleHt);
Bitmap scaled = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(myBitmap, width, (int)(myBitmap.getWidth()*scaleHt), true);
myImage.setImageBitmap(scaled);

This is better for any size android screen. let me know if it works for you.

Answer 4

Changing the image file to drawable-nodpi folder from drawable folder worked for me.

Answer 5

I tried all the solutions above, one-after-the-other, for quite many hours, and none seemed to work! Finally, I decided to look around for an official example concerning capturing images with Android's camera, and displaying them. The official example (here), finally gave me the only method that worked. Below I present the solution I found in that example app:

public void setThumbnailImageAndSave(final ImageView imgView, File imgFile) {

            /* There isn't enough memory to open up more than a couple camera photos */
    /* So pre-scale the target bitmap into which the file is decoded */

    /* Get the size of the ImageView */
    int targetW = imgView.getWidth();
    int targetH = imgView.getHeight();

    /* Get the size of the image */
    BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    bmOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(), bmOptions);
    int photoW = bmOptions.outWidth;
    int photoH = bmOptions.outHeight;

    /* Figure out which way needs to be reduced less */
    int scaleFactor = 1;
    if ((targetW > 0) || (targetH > 0)) {
        scaleFactor = Math.min(photoW/targetW, photoH/targetH);
    }

    /* Set bitmap options to scale the image decode target */
    bmOptions.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    bmOptions.inSampleSize = scaleFactor;
    bmOptions.inPurgeable = true;

    /* Decode the JPEG file into a Bitmap */
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imgFile.getAbsolutePath(), bmOptions);

    /* Associate the Bitmap to the ImageView */
    imgView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    imgView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
