Resize a large bitmap file to scaled output file on Android

Question

I have a large bitmap (say 3888x2592) in a file. Now, I want to resize that bitmap to 800x533 and save it to another file. I normally would scale the bitmap by calling

I used code like this:

  String filePath=Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/test_image.jpg";
  BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options();
  InputStream is=new FileInputStream(filePath);
  BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
  is.close();
  is=new FileInputStream(filePath);
  // here w and h are the desired width and height
  options.inSampleSize=Math.max(options.outWidth/460, options.outHeight/288); //Max 460 x 288 is my desired...
  // bmp is the resized bitmap
  Bitmap bmp=BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);
  is.close();
  Log.d(Constants.TAG, "Scaled bitmap bytes, "+bmp.getRowBytes()+", width:"+bmp.getWidth()+", height:"+bmp.getHeight());

I tried original image is 1230 x 1230, and got bitmap says is 330 x 330.
And if tried 2590 x 3849, I'll got OutOfMemoryError.

I traced it, it still throw OutOfMemoryError on line "BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, options);", if original bitmap too large...
