outofmemoryerror while making bitmap

Question

I am making the camer application which can composite the camera preview and png.

I would like to save the images in onPictureTaken callback

my source is below

    public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera camera) {

            //preview from camera
            Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length); 

            // overlay image 
            Bitmap overlayBmp = overlay.getDrawingCache(); 

            //blank beatmap 
            Bitmap blankBitmap = 
            Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(),bitmap.getHeight(), 
            Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888); 

            //make canvas
            Canvas canvas = new Canvas(blankBitmap); 

            //composite image
            canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, null,new Rect(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), 
    bitmap.getHeight()), null); 
            canvas.drawBitmap(overlayBmp, null,new Rect(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), 
    bitmap.getHeight()), null); 

However it shows outofmemoryerror,how can I solve this problem..?

Answer 1

Try this code....

PictureCallback myPictureCallback_JPG = new PictureCallback()
{

    @Override
    public void onPictureTaken(byte[] data, Camera arg1) {

        BitmapFactory.Options opt;

        opt = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        opt.inTempStorage = new byte[16 * 1024];
        Parameters parameters = arg1.getParameters();
        Size size = parameters.getPictureSize();

        int height11 = size.height;
        int width11 = size.width;
        float mb = (width11 * height11) / 1024000;

        if (mb > 4f)
            opt.inSampleSize = 4;
        else if (mb > 3f)
            opt.inSampleSize = 2;

        //preview from camera
        Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(data, 0, data.length,opt); 


    }
}

get image in bitmap then you use as per your requirements.
