After I've used a MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE intent to take a
photo, when I try to retrieve the captured image, I sometimes get an
out of memory error as shown below. The odd thing is the huge size
of the memory trying to be allocated is always reported as 10,077,696
(x99c600). However, the image file is much smaller, typically around
750,000 bytes. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem?
I'm testing this on a Nexus One with firmware version: 2.1-update1
and Build number: ERE27.

}

Bitmap bitmap =
