Throwing OutOfMemoryError “pthread_create (1040KB stack) failed: Try again” when doing asynchronous posts using Volley

Question

I\'m using Volley to POST some data stored in a local database to a server. The problem is when I have a big number of entries (for example 500) I get this error:

Answer 1

The problem is I was creating a new RequestQueue for every request. That's the reason I suspect it was throwing the OutOfMemory Exception. The solution is simple:

instead of RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);

declare the RequestQueue outside the method and add a new RequestQueue only if the previous one is null.

private RequestQueue requestQueue;

public void uploadData(String s) {
if (requestQueue == null) {
        requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
        Build.logError("Setting a new request queue");
    } more request stuff....
}
