I am writing an app that displays a panorama picture that eventually has several markers on it to display information about certain points.
As the large image crashed the app (I have also another activity in the app that is displaying a large map), I am now trying to display the panorama as a sequence of pages with ViewPager.
I have managed to display the picture in 6 bits and I thought things were going well, but now the app crashes after a few swipes (about 7 to 8) as the memory runs out.
I am pulling my hair out as to why that is as I thought my items would get destroyed once they are off the screen?? I am an absolute noobs and I'm so sorry if I'm being a time waster. I have spent all day reading and trying out solutions from here and elsewhere and I am none the wiser.
here is my code: activity PanoramaView
public class PanoramaView extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.panorama);
MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter();
ViewPager myPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.mysixpanelpager);
myPager.setAdapter(adapter);
myPager.setCurrentItem(2);
}
}
MyPagerAdapter
public class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
public int getCount() {
return 6;
}
public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) collection.getContext()
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
int resId = 0;
switch (position) {
case 0:
resId = R.layout.farleft;
break;
case 1:
resId = R.layout.left;
break;
case 2:
resId = R.layout.middle;
break;
case 3:
resId = R.layout.right;
break;
case 4:
resId = R.layout.farright;
break;
case 5:
resId = R.layout.farfarright;
break;
}
//ImageView imageView = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
//imageView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
//imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), ids[position]));
View view = inflater.inflate(resId, null);
((ViewPager) collection).addView(view, 0);
return view;
}
@Override
public void destroyItem(View collection, int position, Object o) {
View view = (View)o;
((ViewPager) collection).removeView(view);
view = null;
}
@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View arg0, Object arg1) {
return arg0 == ((View) arg1);
}
@Override
public Parcelable saveState() {
return null;
}
}
My main layout file
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/mysixpanelpager"/>
</LinearLayout>
I promise I will be a helpful member from now on (or even more so once I actually know what I'm doing).
EDIT: - In the first activity, I'm displaying an image that is 552kb. - The six images that I'm displaying in this activity (PanoramaView) are between 309 and 500kb. - I have used an allocation tracker in Eclipse and all I could see was the memory filling up but the exact data wasn't clear to me - the crash happens after displaying 7 or 8 images (basically after swiping back and fourth several times)
Here is the code for farfarright.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:src="@drawable/panorama6"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:contentDescription="@string/panorama" >
</ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
I have tried setting the off screen page limit which didn't help.
I found this link about memory management on another post and I'll have a look at it tonight.

In case someone comes across this post, here is what seems to have fixed it: I have change the code to the code from the answer below and I have also cut up my panorama picture into smaller bits so each image is now below 300kb.
Well documented question, and even though you seem to have resolved it, here is a tiny bit of potentially useful information.
From you logcat, I detect that you are developing (or at least testing) on Gingerbread (because Honeycomb onwards does not include the "external" part in the output. This is important only because it highlights what is happening to your bitmaps. In Gingerbread, bitmap data is placed in native memory, outside of the heap. Then, a pointer to that data is placed within the heap, along with some other referential information. Deleting every reference to the bitmap will release the referential information (at some point, when
System.gc()
runs). However, the bitmap data will never be released, unless your device is hit by an asteroid -- or (less dramatic) you call therecycle()
method on that bitmap. That call, it should be noted, really does release the native memory, so you really do need to re-create the bitmap from scratch when it is needed again by theViewPager
(most likely in theinstantiateItem
. Honeycomb and onward place the bitmap data within the stack, which is slightly less annoying. Thedata
is still released only when yourecycle()
that bitmap (so you have to dig a bit deeper, usingDDMS
in order to determine what's going on -- for example, I'm currently fighting this same problem on JB, and in ICS, 4.0.3 behaves differently than 4.0.4, but I digress).It is probably overkill, but my solution was to implement a class to track my bitmaps, and be certain that I had recycled them -- in your case, this would happen when you
destroyItem()
in the ViewPager.Here's the (somewhat pedestrian) class I use to track things, fwiw.
The key bit is the
dumpBitmaps()
call (at least for the problem you describe above). If diligently registers all bitmaps, then thedumpBitmaps()
call will expose any which require mopping up. If you don't care about where the leak is, and just want it to go away, then you can just callflush()
which will remove all the bitmaps.You will need to place
registerBitmap()
wherever you create the bitmap. I have had terrible luck with the inflater doing unpredictable things, so I prefer something like:I have mentioned a couple times doing things asynchronously, and you mentioned that you are new-ish to Android. For completeness, I should mention that I also dislike using AsyncTask, since it has some pretty heavy limitations on multi-threading, and images tend to require lots of multi-threading. So, instead I use an
Executor
and do something like this (which, you will note, used the method above to do the actual work):This, of course, requires an Executor:
Which can be created thus:
(Or, if you are adventurous, you can use a multi-thread executor, same general idea).
Perhaps this helps clarify.
here
MAX_PAGE
is the number of pages that can remain outside the Visibility. Any additional to these will get destroyed and only get recreated when the user swipes back to the nearby position.A bit late with the answer, but the issue is quite simple actually, and I don't see other answers targeting it.
Thing is, when you manually decode bitmaps (as you do in those commented out lines), you have to
.recycle()
them yourself. So, back to your code, in your adapter you have to complement this:With this -- recycle the
Bitmap
in addition to removing theView
from hierarchy:It's as simple as that, no need to use separate bitmap management or anything.
So use
1
instead of
2 Tested on 6 images size 400k each work fine

Goodluck
