Out Of Memory String Android

Question

I am receiving huge JSON and and while I am reading the lines OutOfMemoryError appears.

Here is my first method that I am trying to parse the JSON.

    InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF-8"), 8);
    String result = "";

    while (true) {

                String ss = reader.readLine();
                if (ss == null) {
                        break;
                }
                result += ss;
   }

And I've also tried this method.

    InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF-8"), 8);
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String line = null;

    while ( (line = reader.readLine()) != null)
    {
    sb.append(line);
    }

In the both of the cases the OutOfMemoryErorr is appearing.

Mostly the error will occur due to heap size. You need to increase the size of the heap
