I have an application that uses the Google Maps MapView component and I've found that this crash is far and away the most common report in my market publisher dashboard. I'm not sure what I can do about it aside from reducing my own memory consumption. I know that will help some, but it doesn't seem like it will fully solve this problem (since sometimes the memory requests are the size of the entire heap). Are there any known solutions to this?
Some of the stacktraces start with lines telling me how much was requested: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget(Heap Size=16775KB, Allocated=11760KB, Bitmap Size=16055KB) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget(Heap Size=18311KB, Allocated=13082KB, Bitmap Size=14342KB) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget(Heap Size=18896KB, Allocated=14683KB, Bitmap Size=9620KB) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget(Heap Size=16519KB, Allocated=11198KB, Bitmap Size=16813KB) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget(Heap Size=11435KB, Allocated=9983KB, Bitmap Size=12261KB) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget(Heap Size=10487KB, Allocated=8670KB, Bitmap Size=13394KB) etc. These bitmap sizes just seem particularly huge and I don't know why GMaps would be trying to allocate a single bitmap that size. Should I really be expecting that much free space to be available in the native bitmap heap? I do understand that some devices count the bitmap heap against the VM heap and some devices don't. I found this on stackoverflow with no real solution: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5066102/google-api-mapview-outofmemoryerror-problems full stacktrace: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget at android.graphics.Bitmap.nativeCreate(Native Method) at android.graphics.Bitmap.createBitmap(Bitmap.java:677) at com.google.android.maps.ZoomHelper.createSnapshot(ZoomHelper.java: 444) at com.google.android.maps.ZoomHelper.beginZoom(ZoomHelper.java:194) at com.google.android.maps.MapView$2.onScaleBegin(MapView.java:371) at android.view.ScaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ScaleGestureDetector.java: 216) at com.google.android.maps.MapView.onTouchEvent(MapView.java:646) at com.redfin.android.view.GesturedMapView.onTouchEvent(GesturedMapView.java: 183) at android.view.View.dispatchTouchEvent(View.java:3778) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:920) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:959) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:959) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:959) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:959) at android.view.ViewGroup.dispatchTouchEvent(ViewGroup.java:959) at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow $DecorView.superDispatchTouchEvent(PhoneWindow.java:1716) at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.superDispatchTouchEvent(PhoneWindow.java: 1124) at android.app.Activity.dispatchTouchEvent(Activity.java:2125) at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow $DecorView.dispatchTouchEvent(PhoneWindow.java:1700) at android.view.ViewRoot.handleMessage(ViewRoot.java:1822) at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:143) at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5068) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:858) at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
