I tried it but it didn't change a thing. The images are pretty small
(just a few kilobyte as they are application icons) anyway. But I
figured something new out: If I continue to load them, I finally get
an OutOfMemoryException as mentioned in some sources and threads I
already read, including yours. Thing is, I have no clue how to find my
mistake(s) in the code and fix them. So here's some of my code:
First the function to get the images:
private Bitmap getIconFormServer(String url) {
Bitmap bm = null;
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet getMethod = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response;
getMethod.setHeader("Accept", "application/json");
getMethod.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
getMethod.setHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip");
try {
response = httpClient.execute(getMethod);
InputStream inputStream = response.getEntity().getContent();
Header contentEncoding = response.getFirstHeader("Content-
Encoding");
if (contentEncoding != null && contentEncoding.getValue
().equalsIgnoreCase("gzip")) {
inputStream = new GZIPInputStream(inputStream);
}
bm = new BitmapDrawable(inputStream).getBitmap();
} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
} finally {
getMethod.abort();
inputStream.close();
}
return bm;
}
This one is called inside the service that's supposed to update the
widget. So I'm getting my pictures and update the widget out of the
service with
context = getApplicationContext();
thisWidget = new ComponentName(context, XWidget.class);
widgetManager = AppWidgetManager.getInstance(context);
widgetView = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(),
R.layout.widget);
and then later:
widgetView.setImageViewBitmap(id.getButton(), bitmap);
widgetManager.updateAppWidget(thisWidget, widgetView);
Cheers
