The question about blending methods resolved itself when I switched to making the bitmaps for filters in the app. But one question still remains, and I need help with this one.
When trying to blend the full-size camera image with an equal-size bitmap for the filter, unless I reduce the image size, I get an out of memory error. I really would like to allow users to get the maximum resolution possible. I start by converting the photo image from byte[] data to bitmap (for blending with the filter bitmap) and then immediately setting data to null. That doesn't seem to help at all. I have tried a combination of bmp.release(); and bmp = null;, which only results in a Force Close. It looks like this: // create full-sized filters instead of 640x480 Bitmap bmp1 = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(src, width, height, false); // src.recycle() ; src = null; Bitmap bmp2 = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(dest, width, height, false); // dest.recycle() ; dest = null; The intent being to release the memory used as quickly as possible in the method, rather than waiting until I finish completely with blending them. Unfortunately, if those are uncommented, the result is a Force Close. The Force Close gripes that I'm trying to use a bitmap that's already been recycled...but I don't use those bitmaps (src and dest) again. I also looked into the idea of splitting the task into chunks, but ultimately, there is still a huge amount of data ... right back where I started: out of memory error // Force Close. :-( Can anyone please let me how I can save these at full-size (that is, if there IS another way). If there isn't another way, I would at least appreciate that, then I can at least determine the maximum based on the device's available memory and reduce the image size before causing a force close.
