Hey Androiders!
I'm running into a strange intermittent issue with my app.. Basically
every time the app resumes I check if its internal data [fetched from
a Web API] is outdated and if it is I push off to my Splash/Loader
activity while I fetch new data. This works great ALMOST all the
time... Then every once in a while the system gives me a
java.lang.RuntimeException < android.view.InflateException <
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException <
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError [that's the simplified stack trace]..
Here is the whole stack trace:
E/dalvikvm-heap(12914): Heap Massage needed (4500000-byte external
allocation too big)
E/dalvikvm-heap(12914): Full GC (don't collect SoftReferences)

So up there towards the top I see: E/ (12914): VM won't let us
allocate 4500000 bytes
But why on earth does the system need to allocate 4.5MB just to
display a real simple XML view that loads up two small enough drawable
resources [one is 66KB and the other 135KB].. I'm also using an
animation+interpolator to rotate the 66KB loading spinner image.
The only error in that stack trace that comes from my package is line
2 of my Splash/Loader's onCreate:
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
So then I go and analyze my XML layout file splash.xml, and in the
stack it also tells us: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file
line #8: Error inflating class <unknown> -- so I look at line 8 of
splash.xml and that is the first line of my <ImageView/> element that
loads up the 135KB.. Here is my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:id="@+id/splash_graphic"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="@drawable/grub_truck_splash" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/splash_loader_container"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:paddingBottom="80dip"
>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/splash_loader"
android:src="@drawable/greenloader"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/msg_updating_container"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:paddingBottom="35dip"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/msg_updating"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/splash_msg_updating"
android:textColor="#333"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Sorry to be pasting in so many lines... I'm just thinking they may be
necessary to debug this problem..
What's weird to me is that this activity works most of the time.. And
in the cases that it does crash on an out of memory error like above,
it's not like I'm running any heavy apps before trying to resume my
app.... I also don't believe I've ever launched the Amazon MP3 app yet
above the stack trace in the above log, it frees up Amazon MP3's
resources.....
Strange...
Thanks for any help!!
