I am writing an app that displays a panorama picture that eventually has several

  • 0

I am writing an app that displays a panorama picture that eventually has several markers on it to display information about certain points.

As the large image crashed the app (I have also another activity in the app that is displaying a large map), I am now trying to display the panorama as a sequence of pages with ViewPager.

I have managed to display the picture in 6 bits and I thought things were going well, but now the app crashes after a few swipes (about 7 to 8) as the memory runs out.

I am pulling my hair out as to why that is as I thought my items would get destroyed once they are off the screen??
I am an absolute noobs and I’m so sorry if I’m being a time waster. I have spent all day reading and trying out solutions from here and elsewhere and I am none the wiser.

here is my code:
activity PanoramaView

public class PanoramaView extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.panorama);
    MyPagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter();
    ViewPager myPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.mysixpanelpager);
    myPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    myPager.setCurrentItem(2);
}


}

MyPagerAdapter

public class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
    public int getCount() {
        return 6;
    }
    public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) collection.getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        int resId = 0;
        switch (position) {
        case 0:
            resId = R.layout.farleft;
            break;
        case 1:
            resId = R.layout.left;
            break;
        case 2:
            resId = R.layout.middle;
            break;
        case 3:
            resId = R.layout.right;
            break;
        case 4:
            resId = R.layout.farright;
            break;
        case 5:
            resId = R.layout.farfarright;
            break;
        }
        //ImageView imageView = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
        //imageView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
        //imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), ids[position]));

        View view = inflater.inflate(resId, null);
        ((ViewPager) collection).addView(view, 0);
        return view;
    }
    @Override
    public void destroyItem(View collection, int position, Object o) {
        View view = (View)o;
        ((ViewPager) collection).removeView(view);
        view = null;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View arg0, Object arg1) {
        return arg0 == ((View) arg1);
    }
    @Override
    public Parcelable saveState() {
        return null;
    }
}

My main layout file

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/mysixpanelpager"/>
</LinearLayout>

I promise I will be a helpful member from now on (or even more so once I actually know what I’m doing).

EDIT:
– In the first activity, I’m displaying an image that is 552kb.
– The six images that I’m displaying in this activity (PanoramaView) are between 309 and 500kb.
– I have used an allocation tracker in Eclipse and all I could see was the memory filling up but the exact data wasn’t clear to me
– the crash happens after displaying 7 or 8 images (basically after swiping back and fourth several times)

Here is the code for farfarright.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<ImageView 
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:src="@drawable/panorama6"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:contentDescription="@string/panorama" >

</ImageView>
</LinearLayout>

I have tried setting the off screen page limit which didn’t help.

I found this link about memory management on another post and I’ll have a look at it tonight.

EDIT: here is the LogCat output

In case someone comes across this post, here is what seems to have fixed it:
I have change the code to the code from the answer below and I have also cut up my panorama picture into smaller bits so each image is now below 300kb.

    So use

    1

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup collection, int position)
    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup collection, int position, Object view)
    

    instead of

     public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position)
     public void destroyItem(View collection, int position, Object view)
    

    2 Tested on 6 images size 400k each work fine

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup collection, int position)
    {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) collection.getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    
    
    
        int resId = 0;
        switch (position) {
        case 0:
            resId = R.layout.farleft;
            break;
        case 1:
            resId = R.layout.left;
            break;
        case 2:
            resId = R.layout.middle;
            break;
        case 3:
            resId = R.layout.right;
            break;
        case 4:
            resId = R.layout.farright;
            break;
        case 5:
            resId = R.layout.farfarright;
            break;
        }
