Android: Cursor Window is full
W/CursorWindow(15677): Window is full: requested allocation 2195889 bytes, free space 2096720 bytes, window size 2097152 bytes I know there is app memory avaliable: D/dalvikvm(15677): GC_FOR_ALLOC freed 9K, 30% free 17050K/24291K, paused 45ms So its purely to do with the cursor size window, when Reading blob into byte[] . Im using the built in method to read blobs from a cursor. try { c = rdb.query("Photos", new String[]{"photo"}, "id = ?", new String[]{""+photoID}, null, null, null); if(c.moveToFirst()) { byte[] tArray = c.getBlob(c.getColumnIndex("photo")); // THIS LINE ERRORS } }catch
