That's what i do right now. My app does its best to have as much memory as possible before starting to open a big image for editing (i have written a notification-system that caches and other classes can register with. They'll then get notified when bitmap memory is necessary, asking them to free as much 'bitmap memory' as possible (and other memory if necessary)).
But if an OOM error still happens, i catch it, clearing even more memory and putting up a Toast to warn the user something has gone wrong and that he/she may try again. This scheme works quite well, but my app would like to know if it could open a full-sized image in 32-bit color or a if it should present the user with the option to select full-size image with 16bit color or a half-sized image in 32bit color. For now, i'm using this hard-coded 6MByte as a limit for maximum image size.
