[android help] Memory overflow when loading large textures

I have a GLSurfaceView and a Renderer which loads textures in onSurfaceCreated. My textures are created like so :

public Texture3D(final GL10 gl, final int id) {
    _pBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(Utils.getResources(), id);
    gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D);

    gl.glHint(GL10.GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL10.GL_NICEST);
    texture = newTextureID(gl);
    gl.glBindTexture(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
    gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
    gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL10.GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE);
    gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL10.GL_LINEAR);
    gl.glTexParameterx(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL10.GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL10.GL_LINEAR);

    gl.glBlendFunc(GL10.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL10.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);


    GLUtils.texImage2D(GL10.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, _pBitmap, 0);

    _pBitmap.recycle();     
    _pBitmap = null;

    gl.glEnable(GL10.GL_BLEND);
}

I store them in an HashMap :

textures.put(R.drawable.tile, new Texture3D(gl, R.drawable.tile));

My problem is when I create a texture from a large image (720x1280, 561 Ko) after I sometimes get the following error :

That points to the first line of the constructor where I use BitmapFactory.decodeResource. On my Galaxy S3 I get the error when I switch to another fragment and then I come back to the fragment that displays the GLSurfaceView (onPause and onResume are called on the GLSurfaceView).

How can I avoid this problem ? I tried this solution but I lose too much quality and in rare case the bug happens anyway (probably on old phones models).

Is there something wrong how I create / store my textures ? Also do you know why I don't always get this error ? (generally I get it the second time I load the textures).

Thanks asked 2 days ago
This question has an open bounty worth +50 reputation from Venkat ending in 6 days. Looking for an answer drawing from credible and/or official sources. i am stuck with this. please anybody help. i want to test the amazon app in my app.

I'm going to try to explain how can you have the demo working, because, I think, that's your question, sorry if I'm wrong... Install the AmazonSDKTester.apk in your device and open it. It's inside tools folder in the SDK package. For install it you can use in terminal: adb install AmazonSDKTester.apk Next add your project to Eclipse: File > New > Project...>Android Project from Existing Code , browse the Button Clicker Demo Project in the SDK folder and Finish. Copy the amazon.sdktester.json file to SD memory. In the ButtonClicker project folder, go to assets folder and add the amazon.sdktester.json file to the SD memory. An easy way it's dragging the file to the SD folder using DDMS file explorer. Your SD folder may be different depends on device, in my Nexus S is like you can see in the image. And that's it, you must have Button Clicker Demo sample fully working. When you make a purchase you can go to the AmazonSDKTester and see all your purchases. Hope it helps you and solves your problem. answered 4 mins ago

[android help] My Runner using a Handler is not working on android

Here's what I got so far guys, this is my app, all it does is display a digital clock and move the clock to a new part of the screen every 30 seconds, but it doesn't actually do that last part, here's the code:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private Runnable runnable = new Runnable(){
    @Override
    public void run() {         
        handler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
    }
};
Handler handler = new Handler() {       
    @Override
    public void handleMessage(Message msg) {            
        //change the text position here         
        this.postDelayed(runnable , 30000);
        }
    }; 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {


    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.digitalClock);  
    Random r = new Random();

    Thread thread =new Thread(runnable );
    thread.start();

    int x = r.nextInt(350 - 100);
    int y = r.nextInt(800 - 100);

    textView.setX(x);  
    textView.setY(y);
    }

I just cant seem to get this to work, been scanning the internet for about a week now. I think it's got something to do with the "New Thread" but not too sure what.
