Handling large Bitmaps

by

There is an option in BitmapFactory.Options class (one I overlooked) named inJustDecodeBounds, javadoc of which reads:

If set to true, the decoder will
return null (no bitmap), but the
out… fields will still be set,
allowing the caller to query the
bitmap without having to allocate the
memory for its pixels.

I used it to find out the actual size of the Bitmap and then chose to down sample it using inSampleSize option. This at least avoids any OOM errors while decoding the file.
