Getting Out of memory error when reading images from SDcard
<p>I am developing a simple application with an ImageView, when the ImageView is clicked the application should open the device Image gallery. to achieve this i am using the following code</p>

<pre><code>    Intent imageIntent=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
    imageIntent.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(imageIntent,5);
</code></pre>

<p>And the ActivityResult</p>

<pre><code>super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(requestCode == 5)
    {
        Cursor cursor;
        Uri uri=data.getData();     
        if(uri!=null)
        {
            cursor=getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{ android.provider.MediaStore.Images.ImageColumns.DATA },
                    null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            String imageID=cursor.getString(0);
            personImage.setImageURI(uri);
            Log.i("ImageId", ""+imageID);
            cursor.close();
        }
    }
</code></pre>

<p>The selected image is displayed in the ImageView. Now the problem is when i am doing it second time i am getting the following exception.</p>
