How to avoid OutOfMemory ex while rotating the image?

Question

public static boolean rotateBitmapByExifAndSave(File targetFile){

  if (targetFile==null || !targetFile.exists() || !targetFile.canRead() || !targetFile.canWrite())         


        

Answer 1

Make a method name decode file:

public static Bitmap decodeFile(File f,int WIDTH,int HIGHT){
         try {
             //Decode image size
             BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
             o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
             BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o);

             //The new size we want to scale to
             final int REQUIRED_WIDTH=WIDTH;
             final int REQUIRED_HIGHT=HIGHT;
             //Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
             int scale=1;
             while(o.outWidth/scale/2>=REQUIRED_WIDTH && o.outHeight/scale/2>=REQUIRED_HIGHT)
                 scale*=2;

             //Decode with inSampleSize
             BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
             o2.inSampleSize=scale;
             return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
         } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
         return null;
     }

then call this method like this (You can call this method in button click listener)

Bitmap bi = decodeFile(new File(path),1280,800);

Where path is the path of image where you save your image.. in my case it is

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/nature.jpg";

In case of any problem - ask :) Hope this helps.
