How big are the images you're trying to load? If you're creating Bitmap objects from your resources then you are very likely running out of memory in the process. Look into BitmapFactory.Options and try increasing the sample size to see if that makes any difference.
I would also suggest that you look into ways to pull your tiles from the web instead of storing them on the device. You very rarely see apps in the wild that have a larger footprint than 20mb and some devices like the G1 only have 70mb of storage TOTAL for all apps. So you're basically asking someone to remove everything from their device to load your app. On Aug 23, 6:38 am, Raphael André Bauer <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am currently developing a PhoneGap application - but I am pretty > sure that my problem is way more related to Android than to PhoneGap. > My app consists of a directory assets/www/maps.
