android : rotate a high resolution picture generates an out of memory error

Question

I try to rotate a picture in "onPictureTaken"

public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {
    String fileName = "last"+Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis();
    String finalFilePath=null;
    File temp= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    String destination=temp.getAbsolutePath()+"/pictureTest/";
    Bitmap bitmap1 = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length);
    Matrix mat = new Matrix();
    mat.postRotate(90); // degree j'pense que t'as une methode qui te dit de combien tu veux faire t'as rotation.
    Bitmap bBitmapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap1, 0, 0, bitmap1.getWidth(), bitmap1.getHeight(), mat, true);
    try {
        FileOutputStream fos = null;
        finalFilePath=destination +"/" + fileName + ".jpg";
        fos = new FileOutputStream(finalFilePath);
        BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);                   
        bBitmapRotate.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 80, bos);
        bos.flush();
        bos.close();
    } 
    catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
    catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

It works fine if i use a 2Mp picture but if I use a 12Mp picture I get an out of memory error.

I've tried to set the "setRotation()" from the camera parameters but it didn't do anything.

public void onClick(View v) {
                sendPicturedTweet();
            }
        });
    }

    protected void sendPicturedTweet() {
        if(camera!=null){
            camera.stopPreview();
            Camera.Parameters camParams=this.camera.getParameters();            
            List<Size> sizes=camParams.getSupportedPictureSizes();
            SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
            int prefSize=Integer.parseInt(preferences.getString(getString(R.string.picture_quality_key), "0"));
            camParams.setPictureSize(sizes.get(prefSize).width, sizes.get(prefSize).height);
            camParams.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_AUTO);
            camParams.setFlashMode(Camera.Parameters.FLASH_MODE_AUTO);
            camParams.setWhiteBalance(Camera.Parameters.WHITE_BALANCE_AUTO);
            camParams.setPictureFormat(ImageFormat.JPEG);
            camParams.setJpegQuality(100);
            camParams.setRotation(90);
            camera.setParameters(camParams);
            try{
                this.camera.setPreviewDisplay(surfaceHolder);
                this.camera.startPreview();
                this.camera.takePicture(null, null, null, this);
            }catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(LOG_TAG_VIDEO_PREVIEW, "ERROR IO on set preview display for camera.");
            }
        }

    }

How can I rotate a large picture without having this error and having the best picture quality possible? Is it possible?

I am working on a Sony Xperia S with Android 2.3.7.

Thanks.

Answer 1

When you reach this line

Bitmap bBitmapRotate = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap1, 0, 0, bitmap1.getWidth(), bitmap1.getHeight(), mat, true);

you already have the image in the memory twice, as byte[] data and as Bitmap bitmap1. I think that you should find a way to clear byte[] data before you try to transform the image (e.g. by sending directly the bitmap as parameter)

Answer 2

Reduce the Size of image using BitmapFactory.Option

BitmapFactory.Options option = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            option.inSampleSize = 2;
