java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - BitmapFactory.decode(strPath)

Question

I am getting java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, whenever i am calling UploadActivity.java

Line Number 176 is:

Answer 1

before calling Bitmap bm=BitmapFactory.decodeFile(strPath);

call this.. Bitmap bm =decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(strPath,reqWidth,reqHeight);

if you get again java.lang.OutOfMemoryError then let me know

public static int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options,
            int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
        // Raw height and width of image
        final int height = options.outHeight;
        final int width = options.outWidth;
        int inSampleSize = 1;    
        if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {

            final int halfHeight = height / 2;
            final int halfWidth = width / 2;

            // Calculate the largest inSampleSize value that is a power of 2 and
            // keeps both
            // height and width larger than the requested height and width.
            while ((halfHeight / inSampleSize) > reqHeight
                    && (halfWidth / inSampleSize) > reqWidth) {
                inSampleSize *= 2;
            }
        }
        return inSampleSize;
    }

public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(String strPath,int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

        // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
        final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        BitmapFactory.decodeFile(strPath, options);
        // Calculate inSampleSize
        options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options,reqWidth,
                reqHeight);
        // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
        return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(strPath, options);;
}
