I'm working on a project which connect to a web server and receive binary data. My problem is when I'm downloading data from web server. If i send request to login or to activate some setting, there is no problem. But when I send request to download a binary data it's throwing me an OutOfMemoryException. Here is the code which I'm using :
public byte[] activateColl(int index) {
createCancelProgressDialog("","Communcating with you...","Cancel");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
try {
httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
httppost = new HttpPost("http://www.rpc.frbr.com");
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
String deviceId = tm.getDeviceId();
Log.w("device_identificator","device_identificator : "+deviceId);
String resolution = Integer.toString(getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth())+ "x" +
Integer.toString(getWindow().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight());
Log.w("device_resolution","device_resolution : "+resolution);
String version = "Android " + Build.VERSION.RELEASE;
Log.w("device_os_type","device_os_type : "+version);
Log.w("device_identification_string","device_identification_string : "+version);
String locale = getResources().getConfiguration().locale.toString();
Log.w("set_locale","set_locale : "+locale);
String clientApiVersion = null;
PackageManager pm = this.getPackageManager();
PackageInfo packageInfo = pm.getPackageInfo(this.getPackageName(), 0);
clientApiVersion = packageInfo.versionName;
Log.w("client_api_ver","client_api_ver : "+clientApiVersion);
hash = getAuthHash();
TelephonyManager tMgr =(TelephonyManager)this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
phoneNumber = tMgr.getLine1Number();
Log.i("Phone","Phone Number : "+phoneNumber);
Log.w("INDEX","INDEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX : "+Integer.toString(index));
String timestampSQL = "SELECT dbTimestamp FROM users";
Cursor cursor = systemDbHelper.executeSQLQuery(timestampSQL);
if(cursor.getCount()==0){
Log.i("Cursor","TimeStamp Cursor Empty!");
} else if(cursor.getCount()>0){
cursor.moveToFirst();
timeStamp = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("dbTimestamp"));
}
postParameters = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("debug_data","1"));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("client_auth_hash", hash));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("timestamp", timeStamp));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("mobile_phone", phoneNumber));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("activate_collections",Integer.toString(index)));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("device_identificator", deviceId));
postParameters.add(new BasicNameValuePair("device_resolution", resolution));
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParameters));
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
Log.w("Response ","Status line : "+ response.getStatusLine().toString());
buffer = EntityUtils.toByteArray(response.getEntity());
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return buffer;
}

Any ideas how to fix that? I tried to increase my buffer's size to 50*1024,but still doesn't help.
EDIT: Error is throws on that line :
buffer = EntityUtils.toByteArray(response.getEntity());

On Android you only have a limited heap size, which gets exhausted while you try to decode your entity. I think you need to use http chunking to send your data to the client (or something goes wrong and the EntityUtils think they need a much bigger array. The problem is a byte array which is to big not to small. Have a look at this posts:
Ok, try this..
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
// get response entity
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
// convert entity response to string
if (entity != null)
{
InputStream is = entity.getContent();
// convert stream to string
result = convertStreamToString(is);
result = result.replace("\n", "");
}
And for conversion of InputStream to String
public String convertStreamToString(InputStream inputStream)
{
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
total.append(line);
}
return total.toString();
}
or
use Apache Commons library (org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils).
String total = IOUtils.toString(inputStream);
or just write to temp file,
HttpEntity.writeTo(OutputStream);
Ok as per user Philipp Reichart suggested, from package of org.apache.http.util;
EntityUtils.toString();
is the method which allow the encoding format with String Conversion.
and let me know still you get OutOfMemory Error.
Thanks.
