View Pager with Universal Image Loader Out of Memory Error

Question

I am not really sure if a ViewPager with Universal Image Loader can/should be used as an alternate for a gallery like interface since I have run into an Out of Memory error whil

Answer 1

I also used the same library and had same error. As solution, i created a sparseArray to keep photoView instances. And use it like this:

 private SparseArray photoViewHolder;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       ...

       photoViewHolder = new SparseArray();
       ...
 }

private class GalleryPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

@Override
public View instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) { 

        PhotoView photoView = new PhotoView(container.getContext());

        ImageHolder holder = new ImageHolder();
        holder.position = position;
        holder.loaded = false;

        photoView.setTag(holder);
        photoViewHolder.put(position, photoView);

                    // I used LazyList loading
        loader.DisplayImage(items.get(position), photoView);

        // Now just add PhotoView to ViewPager and return it
        container.addView(photoView, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);

        return photoView;
    }

@Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
    container.removeView((View) object);
    photoViewHolder.remove(position);
}

@Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
    return view == object;
}

}

And to handle viewPager's listener:

   pager.setOnPageChangeListener(new OnPageChangeListener() { 

    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int position) { 

    } 

    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int position, float arg1, int arg2) { 

    } 

    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int position) { 
        if(photoViewHolder.get(position) != null) {
            ImageHolder holder = (ImageHolder)photoViewHolder.get(position).getTag();
            // Do something...
        }
    } 
});

Hope this helps...
