OutOfMemeryError from take photo android in some devices

android, camera, out-of-memory

Solution

It looks like you only want to display a 160x160 bitmap, but on this line you are reading in the whole bitmap and then later scaling it down.

imageSelected = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media(cr, selectedImage);

You can avoid ever loading the whole bitmap into memory by using inJustDecodeBounds, and then you can scale it using inSampleSize.

Here is some example code from the Android series on Loading Large Bitmaps Efficiently

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;
}

public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromUri(Uri uri,
        int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {


    // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
    final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri), options);

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

    // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri), null, options);
}

Then to get your 160x160 image you would just do:

ivImageLoad.setImageBitmap(decodeSampledBitmapFromUri(selectedImage, 100, 100));
