Question

I follow the example in this link :
Viewpager Example in android

its work fine but when i placed my own high resolution images (large in size ), it gave me exception :

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget.

i post an old question about that but it closed coz its duplicated for that reason , i tried and searched alot, finally i found the solution which is : scaling my images to avoid memory exception by following :

author advice and answers here in stackfllow and android development site , i ended with the bellow code , which also end with same exception, i think there is some wrong in my code coz im still learning java and android development , but that what i can end with , please any help or advice will be appreciated ,

thanks .

my code:

ViewPagerAdapter

  public class ViewPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

Activity activity;
int imageArray[];

public ViewPagerAdapter(Activity act, int[] imgArra) {
    imageArray = imgArra;
    activity = act;
                           }

public int getCount() {
    return imageArray.length;
                        }

public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position) {
    ImageView view = new ImageView(activity);
    view.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
            LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
    view.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
    view.setBackgroundResource(imageArray[position]);
    ((ViewPager) collection).addView(view, 0);
    return view;
                              }

@Override
public void destroyItem(View arg0, int arg1, Object arg2) {
    ((ViewPager) arg0).removeView((View) arg2);
                              }

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

@Override
public Parcelable saveState() {
    return null;
                                       }
public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(String imageArra,
        int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {      

        // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
    final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageArra, options);

 // Calculate inSampleSize
    options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);

    // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    return BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageArra, options);
                                       }


    public static int calculateInSampleSize(
            BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
    // Raw height and width of image
    final int height = options.outHeight;
    final int width = options.outWidth;
    int inSampleSize = 1;

    if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
        if (width > height) {
            inSampleSize = Math.round((float)height / (float)reqHeight);
        } else {
            inSampleSize = Math.round((float)width / (float)reqWidth);
                      }
                          }
    return inSampleSize;}}

PageIndicatorActivity:

    public class PageIndicatorActivity extends Activity {

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    ViewPagerAdapter adapter = new ViewPagerAdapter(this, imageArra);
    ViewPager myPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.myfivepanelpager);
    myPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    myPager.setCurrentItem(0);
                                 }

private int imageArra[] = { R.drawable.one, R.drawable.two,
        R.drawable.three, R.drawable.four,
        R.drawable.five, R.drawable.six,
        R.drawable.seven, R.drawable.eight,R.drawable.nine,
                          R.drawable.ten };  }

Answer 1

You never use the method to scale the images, also your inSampleSize needs to be a power of two(i believe). These images are way too big (4.5 mb that you stated in your previous post). On top of a huge bitmap being stored, the view pager keeps 3 views in memory at any given time. Your memory allocated for your view pager is something like >13.5mb. Replace your instantiate view with the following:

ImageView myView = new ImageView(context);
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inSampleSize = 4;

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(activity.getResouces(), imageArray[position], options );
myView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);

((ViewPager) view).addView(myView);   

return myView;

If this still provides an error, use options.inSampleSize = 8;
