ReferenceTable overflow (max=512) JNI

Question

I am a little stuck with this one... ReferenceTable overflow (max=512), I am sure it has to do with the Number of Local References getting created in my native method call... To work around the issue I have even tried to remove the local references from the native call; but still I am unable to solve the problem... I am passing a 2D Array; which is approaximately 1024 X 1024 ...

Here is the error trace I am referring to ... I am sure that number of Integer Objects getting created is causing the issue for my case ... as you should be able to see 506(I) Objects are created... And then JNI hits the bottleneck...

Here is the code I am using : Please let me know what is it that I am doing wrong ?

JNIEXPORT jboolean JNICALL Java_pv_ndk_UcMobile_losInitialization
  (JNIEnv * env, jobject jobj , jint height, jint width , jobjectArray elements){

   elevData = new unsigned int*[height];

for(i=0; i< height; i++) {
    elevData[i] = new unsigned int[width];

    jintArray oneDim=
    (jintArray)env->GetObjectArrayElement(
                         elements, i);
     jint *element=env->GetIntArrayElements(oneDim, 0);
     for(j=0; j< width; j++) {
         elevData[i][j]= element[j];
     }
     // This does not seem to be providing with the desired result
     // env->DeleteLocalRef(element);

     //I even tried with this approach
     env->ReleaseIntArrayElements(oneDim, element , 0);

  }

return losObject.Init(elevData,1,10,2,2);
}

You need to delete local reference from oneDim object: env->DeleteLocalRef(oneDim);.
