I have an activity in my Android app that is trying to use 17

  • 0

I have an activity in my Android app that is trying to use 17 images as bitmap. However when I try to start this activity it returns java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. I really cannot solve this problem. Could anybody who has an exact solution me? My onCreate() is below. Thank you.

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.seviyor);

    activityHead=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.activityhead1);
    shake = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
    Options options=new Options();
    options.inSampleSize=1;
    for(int i=0;i<17;i++){  
        bmImages[i]=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),drwbles[i] , options);
    }

    initilizeToastBackground();
    initilizeButtonsFor16Leafs();
    initilize16Lisener();

    resultIntent=new Intent(this,ResultFrame.class);
    fortuneCon=16;
    for(int i=0;i<17;i++){
        leafs[i]=(ImageView) findViewById(leafIDs[i]);
    }
    for(int i=0;i<17;i++){
        leafs[i].setImageBitmap(bmImages[i]);
    }


    Bundle frompreviousInent=getIntent().getExtras();
    categoryName=frompreviousInent.getString("category");
    setHeadOfActivity();
}

And this is my LogCat…

    Do you need them in full size? Try setting options.inSampleSize = 8. Or at the very least 2 or 4.

    I suspect with 17 images this could be insufficient.

    Another solution would be to query for the images and get them as thumbnails into your Activity:

    Uri tUri = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI; // Where thumbnails are stored
String[] columns = { MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID,
                     MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN,MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DISPLAY_NAME};

Cursor thumbCursor = this.managedQuery(tUri, null, null, null, null); // May need to use more paramaters to get
                                                                      // exactly the images you need
int i = 0;
if (thumbCursor.moveToFirst() && thumbCursor.getCount() == 17) 
{
    do
    {
         int columnIndex = thumbCursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.DATA);
         String filePath = thumbCursor.getString(columnIndex);
         Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
         leafs[i]=(ImageView) findViewById(leafIDs[i]);
         leafs[i].setImageBitmap(bitmap);
         i++;
     }
     while(thumbCursor.moveToNext());
     thumbCursor.close();
 }
