Android choose image from gallery showing memory error

Question

I am working on a code sample where I have to choose an image from gallery the code is working but after selection of image from gallery I get OutOfMemoryError in my OnActivityResult

I am able to get small images but large images are creating problem.

Here is my code:

try{
                    Uri selectedImageUri = data.getData();
                    String[] filePathColumn = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
                    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImageUri, filePathColumn, null, null, null);
                    cursor.moveToFirst();
                    int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
                    String filePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
                    cursor.close();
                    bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
                    _profileImage.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                    _profileImage.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
                    Constant._addPhotoBitmap=bitmap;
                    ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    Bitmap resizedbitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 200, 200, true);
                    resizedbitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, baos);
                    byte [] _byteArray = baos.toByteArray();
                    String base64 = Base64.encodeToString(_byteArray,Base64.DEFAULT);
                    Constant._addPhotoBase64 = base64;
                }catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Constant.showAlertDialog(Constant.errorTitle,
                            "Image size is too large.Please upload small image.",
                            DriverProfileScreen.this, false);
                }   catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

Answer 1

You are deirectly decoding the file based on its uri path..thats why it is throwing exception..before loading image set some options..this will reduce the memory for the image loading..Use this method for loading image whatever size you want..

/**
 * returns the thumbnail image bitmap from the given url
 * 
 * @param path
 * @param thumbnailSize
 * @return
 */
private Bitmap getThumbnailBitmap(final String path, final int thumbnailSize) {
    Bitmap bitmap;
    BitmapFactory.Options bounds = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    bounds.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, bounds);
    if ((bounds.outWidth == -1) || (bounds.outHeight == -1)) {
        bitmap = null;
    }
    int originalSize = (bounds.outHeight > bounds.outWidth) ? bounds.outHeight
            : bounds.outWidth;
    BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    opts.inSampleSize = originalSize / thumbnailSize;
    bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path, opts);
    return bitmap;
}

In Android Developer document there is Topic called

Displaying Bitmaps Efficiently

So please go through it.

Hope this will help you.
