OutofMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget (Android)

Question

Getting an Exception in the BitmapFactory. Not sure what is the issue. (Well I can guess the issue, but not sure why its happening)

ERROR/AndroidRuntime(7906): jav         


        

Answer 1

I ended up resizing the bitmap using the following code which seems to have resolved the issue.

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
Bitmap preview_bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mPathName, options);
