Android :: Launch My App - It Crashes With OutOfMemory Exception

Aug 24, 2010

I have an Android app that in the onCreate() method, preloads a lot of graphics.

When I test my app on my HTC Aria and launch it, it runs fine. However, if I press the back button to exit my app, and then launch the app again, it crashes with an OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget. If I then launch the app for the third time (right after it has crashed) it launches fine. Then if I close and re-launch it, it crashes again with out of memory. It continues this every-other-time-crashing pattern forever if I keep trying.

I checked to see what life cycle methods were being called and onStop() and onDestroy() are both being called when I exit the app, yet I have a feeling that something is not yet being cleaned up and that by "crashing" the app when I try to launch it the second time, it somehow free's the memory.

Any thoughts on what could be happening or how to remedy this? Please let me know if you need me to post more info.

Info: My app is fairly simple and only has 1 activity that plays some frame animations.

Android :: launch my app - it crashes with OutOfMemory Exception


Android :: OutOfMemory Exception In OnCreate

Oct 2, 2010

I'm having a hard time resolving a crash report. It's an OutOfMemory exception that occurs during the setContentView in the onCreate of my main activity.

I just want to be sure I understood Android LifeCycle well :

1) The onCreate of my main activity is called once and only once during the life time of my application ? Is that correct ?

2) Just like for the big bang, before the oncreate of my activity, nothing exists for that activity, so memory consumption is zero, no objects exists right ?

So what can cause that sometimes, with random framework and devices, I get an OOM exception ? I mean if say my background image is causing this, it should blow up everytime, on every device, shouldn't it ? I mean the result should be reliable.

The background image is a standard jpg : 360*480 weighing 37kb, nothing fancy really :s

The crash report below :

Android :: OutOfMemory Exception Appears While Scrolling The List Of Images

Jan 15, 2010

I have a list of 70 text items with image icons(which are stored in drawables folder).
If I launch application the first time and scroll the list slowly - the exception doesn't occur.

When the application is launched the first time and I scroll the list with 'fling' action the following exception occurs:

COD:.....................

After that, if I kill the application with DDMS, start it again and scroll it with 'fling' action, exception doesn't occur. So the exception arises only if application is installed and launched the first time.

Here is the adapter I use for the list:

CODE:................

Is there a way to avoid the exception? Should I catch the exception and escape the memory somehow?

Android :: OutOfMemory Exception When Loading Bitmap From External Storage

Nov 5, 2010

In my application I load a couple of images from JPEG and PNG files. When I place all those files into assets directory and load it in this way, everything is ok:

CODE:..................

But when I try to load the exact same images from sd card, I get an OutOfMemory exception!

CODE:..............

This is what I get in the log:

UPDATE: Tried both of these on real device - it seems that I can't load more than 12MB of bitmaps into whatever is called "external memory" (this is not an sd card).

Android : Stock 2.1 Browser Always Crashes On First Launch

Jun 19, 2010

I tried changing the homepage, but it still crashes. Ever since upgrading to 2.1 OTA, the browser has always seemed to crash on first load. Launching the browser a second time brings it back up instantly. It's rather annoying. Anyone else notice this? Is there a tweak/change available to try?

Sending Datagram Crashes Without Exception

May 12, 2012

I have developed a simple UDP connection protocol in C++ that I am currently using fine on windows machines. I want to proceed to develop a java client class for use in android applications.

Everything seems to be simple enough (except for eclipse constantly bugging out) but I appear to have hit a brick wall. Here is the code that I run when a button is pressed (all I want at this stage is to get a packet through):

Code:
DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket("HELLO!".getBytes(), 6, servAddr, server_port);
Log.d("UdpTest", "blah");
try {
Log.d("UdpTest", "blah2");
servSock.send(sendPacket);

[Code] ....

I am trying to catch the exception, so I am not sure how it is uncaught. This is practically my first attempt at Java so I could be mistaken in that the uncaught exception is not my problem and is just mentioned because of however Android is deciding to fail on the send() method.

The only permission my app should require is android.permission.INTERNET is it not? Oddly, if I remove the permission the app crashes in exactly the same way which would suggest to me that it needs some other permission, the permissions are not applying correctly or that the problem has nothing to do with permissions (it is failing before it gets far enough to care).

So far, I think it could be a strange ICS problem, but that wouldn't make sense because I haven't seen any other app that is likely to use UDP simply stop responding on my phone (edit: I have actually, see my next post). The other alternative is that my Java is just horribly wrong (i hope so).

Here is my code:

Code:
public class UdpTestActivity extends Activity {
String text;
int server_port = 25505;
byte[] message = new byte[3000];
DatagramSocket servSock;

[Code] ....

Android :: Market And Gmail Application Crashes On Launch

Android :: Trying To Launch 2's Gallery- Security Exception

Jan 23, 2010

I wonder if this is a bug. This code works on Android 1.x, but fails on 2.x, generating a SecurityException whose explanation seems to have a null String in it where it means to describe the missing permission:

CODE:.............

I think that perhaps the issue is that the classname's prefix (com.android.camera) is not the same as the package name (com.android.gallery).

Can someone comment on what permission (if any) would actually permit this to work on Android 2.x?

The code is thuslike:

HTC EVO 4G :: Youtube Crashes Upon Launch / Sort It Out?

For the first few weeks youtube worked fine on my evo. The past week anytime I try to either use the youtube app or play a youtube video it shows a black screen for a split second and then closes immediately. Anyone else have this problem? I wish I could just uninstall/reinstall the youtube app but I don't think you can do that.

HTC Eris :: Browser Crashes On Launch - XtrSense

Oct 31, 2010

My stock browser used to crash immediately upon launch, no matter where it was being launched from. So I always have to start the browser twice.

But I recently rooted and went with xtrSense. At first it all seemed smoother, but after a few days, it's back to crashing on launch again. Once I re-launch, it seems to work fine, but this is still a hassle.

Thought rooting would b my magic "fix-all".

Android :: Activity Crashes When Remote Service Crashes

Jul 16, 2010

I'm trying to understand remote services at the moment and everything works fine, i can start the service and know how to communicate with it through the AIDL-interface. My problem is that the service seems to still run in the same process like the activity it was started from, because the activity crashes too, if there is an error thrown in the Service.

I set the service process to remote ( android:process=":remote" ) so what am i doing wrong? Or what do i have to do to unbind the service-process completely from the activity-process?

Android :: Way To Prevent OutOfMemory?

Apr 18, 2010

I really don't know why it's giving me this error... I load an ImageView with an image of 692kb .jpg, using scroll options, so you can scroll it around... the strange it's that when the mobile it's connected to the VM it's less possible to happen. So...how can I prevent this? is there anyway that I can free memory when starting the app? can I tell the system to free memory before loading the image?

Android :: OutOfMemory While Editing XML In Eclipse

Sep 17, 2010

I create Android applications for my job. Eclipse is open all day and I am frequently editing XML files for layouts, etc. I find that creating/editing these XML files pushes up the memory use of Eclipse. Eclipse never seems to release any of the memory and eventually Eclipse tells me that there has been some sort of workbench out of memory error and I have to exit. It will not let me save or do much of anything after this point.

Is there a workaround for this? I don't want to have to exit Eclipse and start it up because of this memory issue. Why won't Eclipse free up its memory use? It just keeps going up. I am still having issues with running out of memory, the eclipse.ini suggestions did not fix it.

Android :: OutOfMemory With 9M Free Heap Because Of Bitmaps!

Mar 3, 2010

Our app has some memory peaks, which let the heap grow to 13M. After the peak, there's 9M of free heap. Everything's fine until Bitmap objects come into play. Despite having 9M of free heap creating Bitmaps, which have only some 100k, now fail with a OutOfMemoryException!

My theory: Allocation fails if (Java) heap *size* plus external allocations (e.g. Bitmaps) exceed 16M, no matter that there is lots of free memory in the heap. The VM could shrink the heap, but actually does not. Would be quite a flaw in the VM.

Does anyone share this theory?

On the downside of this theory: I do not see anything appropriate (killing the process is probably not) an app developer could do to prevent those OutOfMemoryExceptions given that those memory peaks are legitimate and unavoidable.

Android :: Bitmap OutOfMemory On Multiple Screen Changes

Aug 10, 2010

I have a bitmap that I load from the SD card by allowing the user to choose a picture to display. Once the bitmap is created, I set the Bitmap in an ImageView:

CODE:.........................

This works fine. But, if I change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape, and back again a few times, I always get an OutOfMemory exception.

In onPause, I call mBitmap.recycle(), and then on onResume, I call the above code again to create the bitmap and set the ImageView. Since I'm recycling the image each time, how can I get an OutOfMemory error?

In any case, since that failed, I found a post that said to try using onRetainNonConfigurationInstance() and getLastNonConfigurationInstance(). See post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3250987/save-cache-when-rotate-device/3252547#3252547. I changed my code to work this way, and I still get an error. Changing the code, I had the call to getLastNonConfigurationInstance() in onCreate(), and removed all code in onPause and onResume. provide some way to simply load an image, and then be able to pause and resume the Activity without running out of memory?

Android :: Application Crashing OutOfMemory - Restructuring

Mar 22, 2010

I have an application which fetches data from server and shows it in different lists in my application. I used the adb shell procrank command to find out the memory usage of my application It takes 10 mb for the UI (I have a single Activity ,but many layout files), And the data which comes from the server is stored in memory arrays for logical representation on UI (As well as database)and it takes 6 mb of the memory .So application's runtime size reaches to 16 mb and then many a times its crashing after that with OutOfMemoryException. Another major problem is that later for the next client release , the data comming from the server will be around 12 mb.. :( :( So i need to do a major restructuring in the App.I beleive that i cannot increase my App size from 16 mb to more So my question here is , can i have two seperate applications , one of which will fetch the data from the server and keep it in memory as well as database and another App will be used for showing the UI and it will do an inter Application communication to fetch the data and display it on the UI in this App. So the 1st App wil be a backgrond App which will handle Server communication as well as data storage , the second App will start this 1st App .

Android :: Different Bitmap Wallpaper For Every Home Screen - OutOfMemory

Using the code below I get OOM. The problem seems to be the first line of code which creates the large wallpaper Bitmap.

Android :: Instrument Code To Find OutOfMemory Error In WebView?

Apr 21, 2009

I sometimes get bug reports that are caused by an OutOfMemory error. It happens when creating a bitmap, but I am pretty sure that it is not the bitmap size that is the real problem, because the instantiation of those images happens > 100.000 times a day without an error report. Those png images are of 4K size (on disk) anyway.

Those bug reports are very infrequent, but still I would love to get rid of them. I can't reproduce the memory growing over 10 MBs (actually way less) when using the app myself and monitoring the memory consumption in DDMS. I also, at no point in time, cache something or hold on to more than one item (article in my case) at a time, except in one list. There the list caches the visible components, which cannot amount to much too and is default functionality from the Android framework.
