OutOfMemoryError while decoding and encoding Base64 String into Bitmap

Nak Android Dev picture Nak Android Dev · Apr 3, 2015 · Viewed 14.9k times · Source

I'm trying to decode and encode a Bitmap image. On some devices it runs perfectly while on others it's not. I'm uploading Base64 String to the server and getting Base64 String from the server. I've found various solutions but still am not able to solve my issue. Here's my code:

Encoding:

button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {    
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Intent i = new Intent(
                        Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                        android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);

                getActivity().startActivityForResult(i, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);
            }
});



//Image loading from Gallery
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK
                && null != data) {
            Uri selectedImage = data.getData();
            String[] filePathColumn = { MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA };

            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(selectedImage,
                    filePathColumn, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();

            int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(filePathColumn[0]);
            picturePath = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
            cursor.close();

            imageView1.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath));

            if (picturePath != null && !TextUtils.isEmpty(picturePath)) {
                BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
                options.inPreferredConfig = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
                Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(picturePath, options);
                base64ImageSend = ImageBase64.encodeTobase64(bitmap);
                Log.i("Base 64 Image", base64ImageSend);
            } else {
                base64ImageSend = "";
            }

        }
}

When showing Bitmap in ImageView from a file first decode it with the help of BitmapHelper.decodeFile(picturePath, 200, 200, true) this will return compressed Bitmap so that while encoding this Bitmap you can handle high resolution images as well as heavy size images upto 100 MB of file.

After decoding file set it to your ImageView and to get Base64 String form above compressed image using BitmapHelper class; get Bitmap from your ImageView (i.e. already been compressed) and use ImageBase64.encodeTobase64(bitmap) this will again compress the file and make handle OutOfMemory exception while Encoding a Bitmap.

For decoding first write your Base64String to file in your device memory. Then read Bytes in chunks and decode that ByteArray by this you will have your bitmap in your memory. After this scale down this bitmap using decodeFile() method then you will have compressed Bitmap from Base64String

I have searched various blogs and post and from them I have taken best suitable code and combined them into one to make more reliable. Try below code to make encoding and decoding more faster with meory management.

To decode Base64String

Bitmap bitmap = ImageBase64.decodeBase64(base64ImageStr,MainActivity.this);
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
bitmap = null;
System.gc();

To encode Bitmap Try this:

imageView.setImageBitmap(BitmapHelper.decodeFile(picturePath, 200, 200, true));

Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();              
base64ImageStr = ImageBase64.encodeTobase64(bitmap);

Try This code for ImageBase64

public class ImageBase64 {

    private ImageBase64() {
        super();
    }
    private static Context appContext;

    public static String encodeTobase64(Bitmap image) {

            byte [] b=baos.toByteArray();
            String temp=null;
            try{
            System.gc();
            temp=Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
            }catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }catch(OutOfMemoryError e){
                baos=new  ByteArrayOutputStream();

                b=baos.toByteArray();
                temp=Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);
                Log.e("EWN", "Out of memory error catched");
