'outofmemoryerror' In The GetView() From Custom BaseAdapter

I have an Activity with a grid layout where display images from SD folders. When I select a folder, all images are added to a String list (clean when folder is changed), and images

Solution 1:

Yes, using images may cause outOfMemory on your device. The allocated memory differs from device to device.

Two approaches:

1. Use LruCache class to optimize memory usage and caching

2. Use Picasso a powerful image downloading and caching library for Android

Solution 2:

This also happens when someone inflate a CustomView like:

inflate(getContext, R.layout.my_custom_view_layout, this)

instead of:

inflate(getContext, R.layout.my_custom_view_layout, null)
