Hi: some of you may met the same problem, I was using BitmapFactory.decodeStream, and got this exception:
03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/dalvikvm-heap(940): 1572864-byte external allocation too large for this process. 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/(940): VM won't let us allocate 1572864 bytes 03-01 23:28:17.663: DEBUG/skia(940): --- decoder->decode returned false 03-01 23:28:17.663: WARN/dalvikvm(940): threadid=27: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001b188) 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(940): Uncaught handler: thread Thread-14 exiting due to uncaught exception 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(940): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(940): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeStream(Native Method) 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(940): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:459) 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(940): at cc.pa.BitmapManager.fetchBitmap(BitmapManager.java:39) 03-01 23:28:17.663: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(940): at cc.pa.BitmapManager$2.run(BitmapManager.java:88) I know the reason is because the BitmapFactory is trying to decode an uncompressed version of a big image(in my situation, jpg). I can use BitmapFactory.Options.inSampleSize to fix it. but my question is what's the maximum size that VM would like to allocate for loading a image with BitmapFactory? so I can do some scale before it loads. thanks wei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
