Universal Image Loader UIL nostra out of memory error

Question

I am using UIL to load remote images and fill up Fragments in FragmentStatePagerAdapter. I have read readme and usual errors but I can't solve out this bug.

Here is the config:

ImageLoaderConfiguration config = new ImageLoaderConfiguration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
    .threadPoolSize(1)
    .build();
    ImageLoader.getInstance().init(config);

Here is where i display my images:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {


    ImageLoader imgLoader = ImageLoader.getInstance();

    DisplayImageOptions options = new DisplayImageOptions.Builder()
    .showStubImage(R.drawable.loading)
    .cacheOnDisc()
    .resetViewBeforeLoading()
    .bitmapConfig(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565)
    .imageScaleType(ImageScaleType.IN_SAMPLE_INT)
    .build();

    imgLoader.displayImage(this.contentImage, this.imgView, options);

    return layout;
}

And here is where I destroy my fragments in the adapter:

public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
    if (position >= getCount()) {
        container.removeAllViews();
        FragmentManager manager = ((Fragment) object).getFragmentManager();
        FragmentTransaction trans = manager.beginTransaction();
        trans.remove((Fragment) object);
        trans.commit();
    }
}

and finally here is the exception I get:

}

I don't have any idea in how to solve it. Loaded images are variable in size. They may vary from 500KB to 1.5MB.

Answer 1

https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader.

From the above link

If you often get OutOfMemoryError in your app using Universal Image Loader then try next (all of them or several):

1. Reduce thread pool size in configuration (.threadPoolSize(...)). 1 - 5 is recommended.

2. Use .bitmapConfig(Bitmap.Config.RGB_565) in display options. Bitmaps in RGB_565 consume 2 times less memory than in ARGB_8888.

3. Use .memoryCache(new WeakMemoryCache()) in configuration or disable caching in memory at all in display options (don't call .cacheInMemory()).

4. Use .imageScaleType(ImageScaleType.IN_SAMPLE_INT) in display options. Or try .imageScaleType(ImageScaleType.EXACTLY).

5. Avoid using RoundedBitmapDisplayer. It creates new Bitmap object with ARGB_8888 config for displaying during work.

Example: Modify the c.ode in the below link sticking to the above points to avoid OOM
