----------------------------------
Summary: Android - Correct Orientation OutOfMemoryError
Key: CB-5734
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5734
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin Camera
Affects Versions: 3.2.0
Environment: Android 4.1
Reporter: Matthew Keable
The Samsung Galaxy S3 takes very very large photographs, but seemingly does not
have enough memory to effectively process them.
Unfortunately this can cause the camera code to throw an OutOfMemory Error when
trying to correct the orientation of the image.
Because the OutOfMemory error is not caught, the app will crash.
This happens both from the Camera itself or retrieving camera images from the
Gallery.
Suggest either catching the OutOfMemory error on calls to bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(),
matrix, true); or attempting to optimise the code such that the app can handle
the rotations of larger images.
Whilst we have only been able to confirm the existence of this bug on a Galaxy
S3 running Android 4.1, given the fragmentation of the Android market it is
likely that this might occur on other devices.
