why when I load images from files using BitmapFactory.decodeFile and passing in a BitmapFactory.Options with inPurgeable set to true, I still get OutOfMemoryError? For example, doing the following many times, with lots of different resources works fine:
BitmapFactory.Options opts = new Options() opts.inPurgeable = true; bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, resId, opts);
However, doing the following causes an OutOfMemoryError
BitmapFactory.Options opts = new Options() opts.inPurgeable = true; bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(myFile, opts);
In reality my code isn't as simple as outlined above. What I'm really trying to do is load a couple of bitmap resources draw them on a bitmap backed canvas, and then write this new bitmap to file, just so it can then be finally re-read into memory with the inPurgeable option set to true (using BitmapFactory.decodeFile).
I learned from several discussions of this group that BitmapFactory.decodeFile() allocates heap memory outside of the "java heap". My app receives encrypted files from a remote server. Decoding those files needs a lot of heap space. After finishing this decoding step most of the allocated heap space will be freed by the GC. But the (total) heap size - as displayed by the DDM - remains large. In this situation there is not enough heap space outside of the "Java heap" to decode even medium sized image files using BitmapFactory.decodeFile(). At the moment I limit the size of encrypted files to ensure that the Java heap space never increases to more than 10 MB. This ensures that there is enough memory for BitmapFactory.decodeFile(). But this is not very elegant.
Is it possible to tell the dalvik-vm to reduce the (total) heap size to have more space for decoding images or is there another solution?
Saving the file code...
The last line gives a null pointer exception, why is BitmapFactory.decodeFile returning null? I can verify that the file is getting saved correctly as I can pull it using adb and see the png displaying properly.
i have a aplication on the android market, in wich exceptions and errors are catched and sent to me by acra. But i receive quite a lot out of memory errors.. In different kind of classes...some my app, some general java.. Does this always mean there is a problem in my app, or can it also be the phone ran out of memory due to a other process? Will users also get a fc dialog?.....................

In my application I change layouts very frequently with most of the user interactions. Each time when a new layout is drawn, the applications memory size is increasing. I can see this in DDMS. This is absolutely fine. I have analyzed my application with memory analyze tool and it shows that there around 42 Table layouts at some point of time and this number increase as user does more interactions with the app. Now my question is why doesn't the GC collect the stale layout objects. Does GC collect on UI widgets also??? I feel it does but can any one tell me what may be the reason for GC not collecting my UI elements.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of worker threads in my app which I stop and restart during onPause() and onResume(). I use a method that clears all the reference to and from the threads when stopping. However ThreadGroup is still retaining a reference to my threads and causing a small memory leak. After pausing and resuming my app about 40 to 50 times I will then get OutOfMemory Errors when loading bitmaps. Allthough this doesn't effect most of my users I do get occasional reports of crashes. How can I remove the references to my threads from ThreadGroup so that GC can do it's job.

I have an application here that has a feature of showing a POI on the map. It's only one POI and it is only drawn when it's actually within the visible screen area. It works perfectly for a while but if I play around zooming in and out and dragging, it will eventually crash. According to Logcat, the reason is always an OutOfMemory error.
At first, I thought it was a bug on the Google Maps API. After some researching and seeing some Romain Guy posts, I was kind of convinced that I had done something stupid on my app that kept me running out of memory from time to time. Then I ran some more detailed tests with Heap Analyzer (Eclipse) on and I saw that even though I had 2+, sometimes 3+ megabytes left of free memory, I was still getting those annoyings Force Close messages caused by OutOfMemoryError. Most of the times it crashes when trying to alocate some 614kb chunk of memory regardless of how much I have left.
This problem happens a lot on Nexus One 2.2.1 and on HTC Evo 2.1. After some little testing, I got no crash neither on G1 1.6 nor Samsung Galaxy S i9000 2.1. But I cannot say for sure the G1 and Galaxy will not show this problem after more testing. I can only think of a memory fragmentation problem. I hope this problem has a solution. I will also be glad if I can just catch this error and prevent the app from crashing.................
I'm running into OutOfMemoryErrors when allocating bitmaps. This is not something I can reproduce with emulators, and has been reported by a few beta testers with the HTC Incredible. I'm not sure I can solve this directly, and my best hope is to follow best practices for bitmaps and memory thereof. But looking for those best practices based on groups archives left me with more questions than answers. If anyone has a chapter about this in their book, I will buy the book. Here are the things I've mulled over so far:
1. I have a bitmap for a drawing buffer. It is about 3-4 megabytes on some devices. This is the biggest bitmap I have, and without it, I wouldn't be able to much of anything useful in my app. I am assuming that it would not be useful to use inPurgeable if this is a bitmap that is drawn into. Is this true?
2. Next biggest in the hierarchy are some bitmaps that are about 22K bytes and 256K unpacked. Since I believe about 25 of these might be used at one time, I have a cache with a size of 25. I am careful to use BitmapFactory.Options.InPurgeable, so I believe that could make them take only 22K each, but I don't see that as guaranteed. Maybe they are taking 256K each, which would put me in the danger zone. As they are cycled out of the cache, I call bitmap.recycle(). I think this a good practice. Is it?
3. Next are some resources with icon size 32x32 pixels. There are about 50 that could be used or reused. If I use code like this:
Drawable s = mCtx.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.symbol_icon);
Where s is a local variable to rendering. Suppose I call this 37 times. Am I to assume that Android will do something smart like create only one bitmap for this resource even if it is used 37 times? Or am I to assume that Android will do something stupid like create 37 bitmaps and keep references in an obscure location that will prevent garbage collection? Do I need to get more access to these bitmaps and do something smart myself?
4. Finally are some other icons used for menus and ImageButtons. Most are declared in layout files - so I don't touch the bitmaps directly.
I'd like to make my memory usage more efficient, but don't want to spend time on things that will amount to shuffling chairs on the Titanic. And how do I best measure this usage? Interestingly enough, I've tried using the Allocation Tracker and it says I haven't allocated a single bitmap. In light of the above, I don't think that's right.
I was using ADT for debugging and then I get this Internal error: out of memory error
Is there any way to avoid this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are also having occasional problems with OutOfMemory errors in createBitmap. It tends to happen after a few orientation changes when we are allocating the backbuffers. I have made it so that it calls recycle() on the old bitmaps (if any exist) and does a System.gc() before allocating the new backbuffers. What we are doing is allocating a backbuffer that is twice the width and height of the screen so that we can quickly zoom in and out.
With a 854x480 screen this would presumably be 6.25MB in size. The problem as I see it is the 16 or 24MB maximum heap size per process. This is unreasonably small, especially on devices that have 512MB of RAM. Ideally the max heap size should be something like 64MB, or perhaps allow apps to request a larger heap size from the user.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a scrollable map app which for now has a huge bitmap. It loads fine on startup, but when it looses foreground status and the user brings it backs again im getting an out of memory error. In onPause it trashes the bitmap using recycle, and marks it as null. The onResume checks to see if map==null and will load the bitmap back again, which is crashing the program despite me recycling the bitmap...Here are some bits of code. All of the other references to Bitmap map first check if it is null before loading/drawing..............

Pandora would give me an error message and my regular music player suddenly would not recognize my music files. This all happened suddenly after working fine the day before.I did some online research, but nothing seemed to match all my symptoms. I went to the local Verizon store tonight and they said I had too many apps running. They installed Advanced Task Killer for me, killed my "open" apps and everything works fine now. They recommended that I run it at least once a day.Does this make any sense? I keep reading that we don't need app killers.
