OutOfMemoryError when sending image from android to php server

OutOfMemoryError when sending image from android to php server

Im triing to send image from my sdcard to php server ... I create 2 class
: the first is MainActivity.java and the second is Base64.java which
encodeBytes in Base64 Format.
My MainActivity.java is:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
InputStream inputStream;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Bitmap bitmap =
BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/1378889572299.jpg");
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 90, stream); //compress
to which format you want.
byte [] byte_arr = stream.toByteArray();
String image_str = Base64.encodeBytes(byte_arr);
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new
ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("image",image_str));
Log.e("ok", "1");
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://myserver.com/upload_image.php");
Log.e("ok", "3");
try {
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
Log.e("ok", "4");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
Log.e("ok", "5");
String the_string_response = convertResponseToString(response);
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String convertResponseToString(HttpResponse response) throws
IllegalStateException, IOException{
String res = "";
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
inputStream = response.getEntity().getContent();
final int contentLength = (int)
response.getEntity().getContentLength(); //getting content
length…..
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "contentLength : " +
contentLength, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
if (contentLength < 0){
}
else{
byte[] data = new byte[512];
int len = 0;
try
{
while (-1 != (len = inputStream.read(data)) )
{
buffer.append(new String(data, 0, len));
//converting to string and appending to
stringbuffer…..
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
try
{
inputStream.close(); // closing the stream…..
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
res = buffer.toString(); // converting stringbuffer to
string…..
final String res2 = res;
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Result : " + res2,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
//System.out.println("Response => " +
EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity()));
}
return res;
}
}
I have this erreur :

I make some change in my code ... and i replace the image source from my
sdcard to my drawabel.ic_luncher :
Bitmap bitmap =
BitmapFactory.decodeFile("/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/1378889572299.jpg");
by this :
Bitmap bitmap =
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher);
and it work succseffuly !!!!
I googled a lot, but either I used the wrong keywords or there are no
simple solutions on the internet. I hope somebody here can help me.
Best regards and thanks in advance, Fadel.
