Hi Dianne, Thanks for your response.
I know that there is no real thing like bitmap memory. But i also know that when i open a 12MByte bitmap (3MPixel, ARGB_8888) i *always* get a OOM error. Even if i have more than 12MByte left to work with, according to the heap dump. I'm asking if there is a way to 'guesstimate' the amount available that is left for opening (creating) bitmaps.
