Don't feel sorry Bob, Your answer was totally appropriate and a good read, I didn't know that this fragmentation problem could occur. It was not the answer to this one, but again, you made Fadden give a thorough explanation(Thank you Fadden). That's how forums and ideas work, make them bounce :)
Greg's answer to your improvement suggestion was totally inapropriate, I think he is at his time of the month, and I'm glad you didn't use your last wording fist because without all the tedious explanation of the background I would not have understood it :D BTW, this place is as close as Academia as we can get on the internet. And I like it that way, I come everyday and I'm trying to graduate in both "Tips and Trick 101" and "Theory 101". And everything I learn makes it into my code which sometimes translate into money. Back to the topic, I also hit that problem 2 days ago while setting Bitmaps in ImageViews this is how I solved it : //First we clear the data from the old image to free up memory photoPreview.destroyDrawingCache(); //No clue if thats helps, more like Greg does, tries and if it works, well good for me photoPreview.setImageBitmap(null); //Make sure the bitmap is not allocated anymore System.gc();//Sends the Walkyries on the war field And then when allocating : BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options(); byte[] tempBuffer=new byte[8000];//Same here, Greg's style :D I thought it was suppose to limit the size of the allocation options.inTempStorage = tempBuffer;//but alone it kept throwing exception anyway options.inSampleSize=2;//This divides the size by two before allocating, works well and doesn't degrade too much the picture previewBitmap=BitmapFactory.decodeStream(fileInputStream, null, options); My two cents.
