i tried writing some camera intent handler for taking pictures and post-precessing them (if needed). If i take some pictures on high-resolution my programm break with “allocation too large”. if i take some with lower resolution i’m able to take more but it’ll break too. After some search i found out that i have to recycle bitmaps i’d made manualy. but the problem didn’t disapear. my main problem is that i don’t know if there is 1. a memory leak in my code 2. i don’t know why it’s trying to allocate the momory cause i don’t show the bitmaps in my programm (for now), i just save them for further reuse.
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent i = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
this.mLastPic = new File(this.mFs.getDirPath(), this.mFs.getNextPicName()); //create and save a file for pic
i.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(this.mLastPic));
this.startActivityForResult(i, 0);
}
the on activty result handler
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == 0) {
try {
if(!this.mController.getSetting(R.string.USE_HEIGH_RESOLUTION)) { //use high res or not
int quality = this.mFs.getPicQuality(); //get compress quality
Bitmap pic = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(this.mLastPic.getPath());
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
pic.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, quality, outStream);
String path = this.mLastPic.getPath();
if(this.mLastPic.delete()) { //replace the old file with a now file
File newFile = new File(path);
newFile.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
os.write(outStream.toByteArray());
Log.d("newEntryActivity.onActivityResult", "replaced pic ");
} else {
Log.d("newEntryActivity.onActivityResult", "cant delete old pic");
}
pic.recycle(); //cleaning up
outStream.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
logcat shows

any help would be great.
regards Alex
After some reading and modifying of my program, like adding a reference to the background in an overloaded application, wiping all unneeded context elements I’ve still the same problem and it seems to be even worser.
if i can trust my calculation for the size of the bitmap
my
100kBlogo (.png) takes6mBram (which would fit for the exception message). any ideas would be great.
