And My code here.

final String[] columns = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA,
            MediaStore.Images.Media._ID };
    Cursor image_cursor;
    image_cursor = managedQuery(
            MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, columns, null,
            null, null);
    int image_column_index = image_cursor
            .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media._ID);
    count = image_cursor.getCount();
    thumbnails = new Bitmap[count];
    arrPath = new String[count];
    try {
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            image_cursor.moveToPosition(i);
            int id = image_cursor.getInt(image_column_index);
            int dataColumnIndex = image_cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA);
            thumbnails[i] = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(
                    getApplicationContext().getContentResolver(), id,
                    MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND, null);
            arrPath[i] = image_cursor.getString(dataColumnIndex);

        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Sorry for my language. Thanks.

Answer 1

Your Part:

count = image_cursor.getCount();
thumbnails = new Bitmap[count];

May cause this. For creating Bitmaps memory-efficient you should use BitmapOptions

Try THIS instead:

Bitmap bm;
bm = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filepath),100, 100, true);
mPicture = new ImageView(context);
mPicture.setImageBitmap(bm);

See Strange out of memory issue while loading an image to a Bitmap object

Seems like these both logs may give you the hint:

failed to allocate memory for thumbnail content://media/external/images/thumbnails/300;

.

android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeByteArray(Native Method) 07-25 17:17:49.327: E/AndroidRuntime(3008): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(BitmapFactory.java:552) 07-25 17:17:49.327: E/AndroidRuntime(3008): at android.media.ThumbnailUtils.createThumbnailFromEXIF

Does your gallery contain a lot of big pictures? In this case you dont have a problem with your Cursor but with your memory management when it comes to bitmaps!

Furthermore you should have this permission in your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Answer 2

Add this to your Manifest

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

As for the the out of memory i used to get this when i have very large images in size, try to test it in small images ..

Answer 3

my advice to all , try dont use large image size use https://tinypng.com/ to decrease the image size

Second increase heap size from mainfest android:largeHeap="true" in application tag to be like this

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        android:largeHeap="true">

and bundle max heap size

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'

   .......
   ....

    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"

    }
}

I hope this help
