this is the situation: I have a ViewAnimator with three different layouts. Each layout have a different backgroundimage. For xhdpi devices, the images are 1280x800 px large and have a size of ~150KB. Now the problem: when I start the emulator with a size of 1280x800 and a density of 320dp, I always receive this exception:
09-02 08:22:46.408: D/dalvikvm(1291): GC_EXTERNAL_ALLOC freed 428K, 51% free 2874K/5831K, external 18484K/20407K, paused 83ms

09-02 08:22:49.208: E/AndroidRuntime(1291): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
Have anybody a solution or a workaround for my problem? I read something about the BitmapFactory. Does it help? Best Regards!
Edit: Here is my code: The layout file main_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ViewAnimator
android:id="@+id/viewAnimator"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/LayoutMain"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/background"
...some Buttons etc. ...
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layoutGameMenu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/gameMenu"
...some Buttons etc. ...
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layoutHighscores"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="@drawable/highscores"
...some ListViews etc. ...
</LinearLayout>
</ViewAnimator>
</LinearLayout>
And the MainActivity:
private ViewAnimator va;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_layout);
va = (ViewAnimator) findViewById(R.id.viewAnimator);
....
}
....
@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if(event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
if (va.getCurrentView() == findViewById(R.id.layoutHighscores)) {
va.setInAnimation(inFromRight);
va.setOutAnimation(outToLeft);
va.setDisplayedChild(0);
return true;
}
if (va.getCurrentView() == findViewById(R.id.layoutGameMenu)) {
va.setInAnimation(inFromLeft);
va.setOutAnimation(outToRight);
va.setDisplayedChild(0);
return true;
}
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
With this, I can switch between the mainmenu, the highscores and the gamemenu with buttons to start a gamemode. I choose this because I want the "cool" view animations.
I have tried to solve it with the BitmapFactory methods, but there are no changes.
public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(Resources res, int resId, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
// First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);
// Calculate inSampleSize
options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);
// Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);
}
public static int calculateInSampleSize(BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
// Raw height and width of image
final int height = options.outHeight;
final int width = options.outWidth;
int inSampleSize = 1;
if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
if (width > height) {
inSampleSize = Math.round((float)height / (float)reqHeight);
} else {
inSampleSize = Math.round((float)width / (float)reqWidth);
}
}
return inSampleSize;
}
