Hi, Can anyone explain why when I load images from files using BitmapFactory.decodeFile and passing in a BitmapFactory.Options with inPurgeable set to true, I still get OutOfMemoryError?
For example, doing the following many times, with lots of different resources works fine: BitmapFactory.Options opts = new Options() opts.inPurgeable = true; bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, resId, opts); However, doing the following causes an OutOfMemoryError BitmapFactory.Options opts = new Options() opts.inPurgeable = true; bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(myFile, opts); In reality my code isn't as simple as outlined above. What I'm really trying to do is load a couple of bitmap resources draw them on a bitmap backed canvas, and then write this new bitmap to file, just so it can then be finally re-read into memory with the inPurgeable option set to true (using BitmapFactory.decodeFile). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
