Description

When I try to use imageAsResized or imageAsThumbnail or imagefactory compress the app crashes with an OutOfMemory Error. Problem is that this crash happens on devices with 1GB RAM... I think this shouldn't happen for such devices on simple resizing operations. I use something like this for generating a thumb and compressing my photos before sending to my servers:

Ti.Media.showCamera({
    allowEditing: false,
    mediaTypes: Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO,
    saveToPhotoGallery: false,
    success: function(e) {
        
        var aspectRatio = e.media.height / e.media.width;
        photos[changeImage] = imagefactory.compress(e.media.imageAsResized(640, 640 * aspectRatio), 0.5);
        
        placeholder[changeImage].setImage(e.media.imageAsThumbnail(194, 0, 0));
    },
    error: function(e) {
        alert(e);
    }
});

This code runs fine on hundreds of devices but crashes on devices like the Samsung Galaxy SII (1GB RAM) and the LG L7 (512MB RAM) This is what I get on logcat:

Any ideas on how to solve it? (I really don't want to enable largeHeap on the Manifest for this.)

Hi Ygor Lemos, Could you provide me full code so that i can reproduce this issue. Thanks,
Ygor Lemos 2013-09-17

Hi Motiur, The code is the one posted above... just compressing the image inside the success event of the showCamera gives the OutOfMemory error. I had to add "android:largeHeap" : "true" to the app AndroidManifest application tag in order for it to work properly on those devices...

We tried to reproduce this issue in-house with Titanium SDK 3.1.3.GA but were not able to reproduce. Please try this sample code and let us know if the issue persists.

Testing Environment:

Android SDK: 4.2.2 Titanium SDK: 3.1.3 Titanium CLI Version: 3.1.2 h5. Test Code

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : '#000',
   	layout : 'vertical',
   	navBarHidden : false,
   	title : 'Take a Photo From Camara'
   });
    
   var takePhoto = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	title : 'Take_Photo',
   	color : '#000',
   	width : Ti.UI.SIZE,
   	height : 60,
   	top : 10,
   });
    
   var image = Ti.UI.createImageView({
   	top : 10,
   	height : Ti.UI.SIZE,
   	width : Ti.UI.SIZE,
   });
    
   win.add(takePhoto);
   win.add(image);
   //win.add(anImageView);
   takePhoto.addEventListener('click', function() {
    
   	fireUpTheCamera();
   });
    
   function fireUpTheCamera() {
   	Titanium.Media.showCamera({
    
   		success : function(event) {
   			var cropRect = event.cropRect;
   			var photo = event.media;
    
   			Ti.API.debug('Our type was: ' + event.mediaType);
   			if (event.mediaType == Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO) {
   				var aspectRatio = photo.height / photo.width;
    
   				//image.setImage(photo.imageAsThumbnail(129, 0, 0));
   				image.setImage(photo.imageAsResized(640, 600 * aspectRatio), 0.5);
    
   			} else {
   				alert("got the wrong type back =" + event.mediaType);
   			}
   		},
   		cancel : function() {
   		},
   		error : function(error) {
   			// create alert
   			var a = Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
   				title : 'Camera'
   			});
    
   			// set message
   			if (error.code == Titanium.Media.NO_CAMERA) {
   				a.setMessage('Please run this test on device');
   			} else {
   				a.setMessage('Unexpected error: ' + error.code);
   			}
    
   			// show alert
   			a.show();
   		},
   		saveToPhotoGallery : false,
   		allowEditing : false,
   		mediaTypes : [Ti.Media.MEDIA_TYPE_PHOTO]
   	});
   }
    
   win.open();

Step to Test

Create a sample Project

Paste this code in app.js file

Click the button and successfully take a photo with imageAsResized or imageAsThumbnail without any crash.
