OutOfMemoryError in BitmapFactory.decodeFile()

Question

When I pick image from gallery if image size bigger than 3 Mb android the OutOfMemoryError.

 BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageFilePath, options);

This text from logs. Please help me, becouse "deadline")

Answer 1

OutofMemory occurs when your app exceeds memory allocated in heap. The bitmap is too large to fit in memory ie heap. In such a case you run out of memory. You need to scale down the bitmap and then use the same.

For that check this link

try this code may help you,

 public static Bitmap decodeFile(File f,int WIDTH,int HIGHT){
 try {
     //Decode image size
     BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
     o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
     BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o);

     //The new size we want to scale to
     final int REQUIRED_WIDTH=WIDTH;
     final int REQUIRED_HIGHT=HIGHT;
     //Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
     int scale=1;
     while(o.outWidth/scale/2>=REQUIRED_WIDTH && o.outHeight/scale/2>=REQUIRED_HIGHT)
         scale*=2;

     //Decode with inSampleSize
     BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
     o2.inSampleSize=scale;
     return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
 } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
 return null;
}

Answer 2

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path,options);
