Please try with these Option properties..

    opts.inDither=false;                     //Disable Dithering mode
    opts.inPurgeable=true;                   //Tell to gc that whether it needs free memory, the Bitmap can be cleared
    opts.inInputShareable=true;              //Which kind of reference will be used to recover the Bitmap data after being clear, when it will be used in the future
    opts.inTempStorage=new byte[32 * 1024];
    opts.inSampleSize = 1;
