Bear in mind that Android does not have a compacting garbage collector. Hence, you might have >16M free but not have a big enough block for whatever it is you are loading. And, the file size of what you are loading matters less than its memory footprint (e.g., a PNG file may be small but still take up a lot of memory once decompressed). What are the files, in terms of file type and usage? -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training in NYC: http://marakana.com/training/android/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
