Setting a background for a relativelayout from the drawable image

Question

What i am doing :: i am trying to load a image from drawable and set as a background of relativelayout in the adapter

What is happening ::

• getting out of memory error
• I tried scaling but many ways also still not able to resolve outof memory error
• How to resolve this

EDIT

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            options.inSampleSize = 8;
            Bitmap preview_bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),godImages[position]);
            Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(),preview_bitmap);
            relImgId.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
            relImgId.setTag(imgGodId);

Answer 1

You seem to be doing a lot of unnecessary decoding.

First image is being created here:

Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),godImages[position]);

Second image is being created here in the form of raw bytes (size of image is still the same):

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); 
icon.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bos); 
byte[] bitmapdata = bos.toByteArray();
ByteArrayInputStream bs = new ByteArrayInputStream(bitmapdata);

Third image is being created here:

BitmapFactory.Options options=new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
Bitmap preview_bitmap=BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bs,null,options);

What you should be able to do instead is simply this:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 8;
Bitmap preview_bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.getResources(),godImages[position], options);
relImgId.setImageBitmap(preview_bitmap);

In the background, the ImageView is actually going to create a BitmapDrawable which is backed by the Bitmap you supply it. You only have to decode the bitmap once.

Answer 2

You need to scale down your image.

Try this function for scaling:

public Bitmap decodeFile(String pathOfImage){
        File f = new File(path);
        if (!f.exists()){
            Log.d("Reh", "File doesn't exist");
        }
        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_SIZE=70;

            //Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
            int scale=1;
            while(o.outWidth/scale/2>=REQUIRED_SIZE && o.outHeight/scale/2>=REQUIRED_SIZE)
                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;
    }

And then simply:

      imageView.setImageBitmap(decodeFile("/sdcard/whatever your folder or file name is");

Or you can use: getAssets().open("...") to get image from assets folder. You might want to use your corresponding decode method.
