I’m experiencing troubles issue with an android APP running into outOfMemory.
After dig and searching for memory leak, I discover that – I think – problem is that:
- my initial Heap size is 11 MB (98% used).
- After calling CAMERA intent, the heap size is increased to 34 MB, 99.5% used (rarely crashed cause outOfMemory).
- After rotating the screen or taking another picture my app goes – sometimes to heap size 52 MB (using 70%) and often crash with OutOfMemory.
I read many threads and someone want to increase initial heap size but i read also that should be deprecated soon and it’s not a good idea cause increase memory usage even if you don’t need it.
Moreover, how can I know how much heap memory my app need? I should still monitor the working and increase time by time with min. step?
My questions is: what is the best way to handle heap size and avoid this kind of outOfMemory exception?
I tried with many version of my code and with samples doing only picture with camera, it’s always the same. Just for your reference, this is the posted code
