Answer 1

Well, OutOfMemoryErrors are coming obviously when the virtual machine runs out of memory. The important point here is that the exact stack trace might not be informative, because it could happen that another thread uses all of the memory. Or something memory-consuming happened on this thread before this code, and this code was only the "last straw". This URL certainly does not contain too many bytes, I think the problem is in another place.

You could try a memory analyzer: Android ==> Memory Analysing ==> Eclipse memory analyzer?
