OutOfMemory when loading image from camera

Question

I use the following method to get the bitmap from the camera after I took a photo. On my phone it is working properly but I get a lot of users that get an OutOfMemory error here. I included the stacktrace below.

public static Bitmap getLastTakenImage(Context context) {
    String[] projection = new String[]{
            MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns._ID,
            MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA,
            MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME,
            MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN,
            MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.MIME_TYPE
    };
    final Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver()
            .query(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, projection, null,
                    null, MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATE_TAKEN + " DESC");

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        String imageLocation = cursor.getString(1);
        File imageFile = new File(imageLocation);
        if (imageFile.exists() && imageFile.length() > 0) {
            Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageLocation);
            return bm;
        }
    }
    return null;
}

Stacktrace:

The image is too big to be loaded in memory in its full glory. You need to downscale it:

BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options();
opts.inSampleSize = 2; // Power of 2
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(imageLocation, opts);

You should read the Loading Large Bitmaps Efficiently

,I am sorry I can't make a common.

You need to scale image so that it takes less storage required to generate Bitmap Here is community post you can refer: Avoid OutOfMemoryException
