why my application use all memory and get OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate?

Question

why this happeing all the time?i dont have even a bitmap to recycle and i dont know why my application throw memory error.

i select image from gallery here is the code to get an image from gallery then show it on some imageView.

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    ImageView b = (ImageView)  findViewById(R.id.viewImage);
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        if (requestCode == 1) {
            File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString());
            for (File temp : f.listFiles()) {
                if (temp.getName().equals("temp.jpg")) {
                    f = temp;
                    break;
                }
            }
            try {
                Bitmap bitmap;
                BitmapFactory.Options bitmapOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();

                bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(f.getAbsolutePath(),
                        bitmapOptions);

                b.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

                String path = android.os.Environment
                        .getExternalStorageDirectory()
                        + File.separator
                        + "Phoenix" + File.separator + "default";
                f.delete();
                OutputStream outFile = null;
                File file = new File(path, String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + ".jpg");
                try {
                    outFile = new FileOutputStream(file);
                    bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 85, outFile);
                    outFile.flush();
                    outFile.close();
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } else if (requestCode == 2) {

            Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
            String[] filePath = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };
            Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,filePath, null, null, null);
            c.moveToFirst();
            int columnIndex = c.getColumnIndex(filePath[0]);
            String picturePath = c.getString(columnIndex);
            c.close();
            Bitmap thumbnail = (BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));
            Log.w("path of image from gallery......******************.........", picturePath+"");
            b.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
            b.setTag(picturePath);

        }
    }
}

after that there is 3 imagebuttons below user image(which picked from gallery). when user press on each one of them will get the name of that imageView drawable and will send to another activity then i want to watermark user image on that Imagebutton and show in one imageView

private static HashMap<Integer,String> activityMap = new HashMap<Integer,String>();
static {
    activityMap.put( R.id.agahi1,"agahi1");
    activityMap.put( R.id.agahi2,"agahi2");
}
// use this in the layout xml file for all the buttons onClick attribute
public void Clicked( View vw ) {
    String a = String.valueOf(activityMap.get(vw.getId()));

    Intent i = new Intent(this,fotCreator.class);

    ImageView b = (ImageView)  findViewById(R.id.viewImage);

    String c = (String) b.getTag();

    i.putExtra("image",c);
    i.putExtra("frame",a);
    startActivity(i);
}

this is the code for watermarker activity

    package net.svncorp.shadikade;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.res.Resources;

import android.widget.ProgressBar;


public class fotCreator extends ActionBarActivity {
    private AsyncCaller myasync;
    private ProgressBar bar;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_fot_creator);
        //progress bar
        bar = (ProgressBar) this.findViewById(R.id.progressBar);


        MainActivity.checkversion(this);


    }
    @Override
    public void onBackPressed() {
        super.onBackPressed();
        this.finish();
    }
    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        myasync = new AsyncCaller();
        myasync.execute();

    }

    private class AsyncCaller extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Drawable>
    {



        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {
            super.onPreExecute();
            bar.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
        @Override
        protected Drawable doInBackground(Void... params) {

            try {            // simulate here the slow activity
                Intent intent = getIntent();

                final String frame = intent.getStringExtra("frame");
                String image = intent.getStringExtra("image");
                Resources resources = getResources();
                int id = resources.getIdentifier(frame, "drawable", getPackageName());
                Drawable d = resources.getDrawable(id);
                return d;


            } catch (Exception e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Drawable result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);

            //this method will be running on UI thread
            ImageView finalimage = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.finalimage);
            if (isCancelled() || result == null) {
                return;
            }
            finalimage.setImageDrawable(result);
            bar.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        }



    }


    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        myasync.cancel(true);

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_fot_creator, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }



}

now this code works so fast for 2 or 3 times of pressing imagebuttons and go to watermarker activty but its keep getting slower and slower and sometimes it freeze in emulator and i see these in logcat

i think this is the problem of many others like me... Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Maybe adding this line in Manifest on application tags will help you;

<application
        ...
        ...
        android:largeHeap="true" >  

     ......
     ......

</application>
