Loading images from local resource in ImageView Adapter

I was stuck with OOM error in ion by Koushik Dutta, for as low as 2 images, loading from the resource folder. Even he mentioned it may happen since they are not streams of data. and suggested to load them as InputStream.

I chucked ion Library since i wanted just 4 images from the local.

here is the solution with simple ImageView.

inside the RecyclerViewAdapter/ or any where

 InputStream inputStream = mContext.getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.your_id);

    Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);
    b.setDensity(Bitmap.DENSITY_NONE);
    Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(b);
    holder.mImageView.setImageDrawable(d);

Although Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(b); is deprecated but, does the job quite well.

so instead we can directly get drawable from InputStream just by this line..

Drawable d = Drawable.createFromStream(inputStream,"src");

Hope it helps.
