Android App crashing on Samsung Galaxy S3 (out of memory error)

Question

I have an Android app that takes some pictures, re-sizes them and sends them over to the back-end server. This app works perfectly fine on all other phones (Gingerbread and Ice

Answer 1

I overwrote the onDestroy method and added the following line: layout.setBackgroundDrawable(null);. Please let me know if this worked or didn't work for you.

Cool, it worked for me... with a little added for background pics on a layout. Instead of using BitmapDrawables or Bitmap I use Drawables after convert from bitmap.

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.outerspace);
Drawable bitDraw = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmap);

main.setBackgroundDrawable(bitDraw);

My issue was that is was working on all devices expect for the S3 (which was annoying). But the app is up and running now! Thanx...user881148
