Thanks Justin, for the response. Yes 4MB was the file size. The resolution of the file was around 1600x1200.
I tried using Bitmap factory functions, I have given a code snippet in the other thread http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/cc499cf6e7ed9eb1/d52329bcfdd23923?lnk=gst&q=Gif+Image#d52329bcfdd23923 WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getContext ().getSystemService( Context.WINDOW_SERVICE); d = wm.getDefaultDisplay(); int h = d.getHeight(); int w = d.getWidth(); BitmapFactory.Options opt = new BitmapFactory.Options(); opt.inSampleSize = 1 ; while ( (opt.outWidth/opt.inSampleSize) > w || opt.outHeight/opt.inSampleSize) > h) { opt.inSampleSize <<= 1 ; } opt.inJustDecodeBounds = false; bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is, null, opt); In the above the either I will get OutOfMemoryError or decoded bitmap dimension is same as the original image. There is bug reported on it, I found it later http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2793 Thanks, With Regards Muniraju On Jul 22, 8:28 pm, "Justin (Google Employee)" <[email protected]> wrote: > What do you mean by 4MB?
