Clearing heap memory for Out of Memory Exception
android, garbage-collection, memory
Solution
After 3 days of struggle i found a solution for not increasing Heap memory by using this
i replace all my ImageView like this
<com.example.util.SingleShotImageView
android:id="@+id/grid_image"
android:layout_width="170dp"
android:layout_height="240dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
/>
Using this class i use to clear the Image bitmap heap size in onDetachedFromWindow function
public class SingleShotImageView extends ImageView {
public SingleShotImageView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SingleShotImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public SingleShotImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
@Override
protected void onDetachedFromWindow () {
setImageDrawable(null);
setBackgroundDrawable(null);
setImageBitmap(null);
System.gc();
}
}
now it works fine and my heap memory remains
Grow heap (frag case) to 11.719MB for 8192016-byte allocation
Problem
I Know the question regarding out of memory already been asked ,but i found no solution In Bitmap Factory i got out of memory Exception, even use ``` inSampleSize=1 ``` so i use to surrounded it by try catch out of memory exception since it is a bad practice ``` try{ ......... ...... }catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {} ``` out of memory exception also caught but my question is after caught of this exception shall we Clearing or reallocating heap memory of GC is there any solution ? i use System.gc(); no use please help!!!!!!! ``` not even Bitmap also for GridView Orientation i found this exception Clamp target GC heap from 17.333MB to 16.000MB Out of memory on a 140416-byte allocation. ```
