OutOfMemoryError: memory exhausted
<p>I have a problem that I am downloading images from the server side programmatically but it returns <code>OutOfMemoryError: memory exhausted</code> error. I don't know why bcoz same code is running fine for another class or in another projects. Please suggest me any solution regarding the same problem.</p>

<p><strong>Code:</strong></p>

<pre><code>private Bitmap decodeFile(File f){
        try {
            //decode image size
            BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            o.inDither = true;
            o.inPurgeable = true;
            o.inInputShareable = true;
            o.inSampleSize=10;
            o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
            BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o);

            //Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
            final int REQUIRED_SIZE=70;
            int width_tmp=o.outWidth, height_tmp=o.outHeight;
            int scale=1;
            while(true){
                if(width_tmp/2&lt;REQUIRED_SIZE || height_tmp/2&lt;REQUIRED_SIZE)
                    break;
                width_tmp/=2;
                height_tmp/=2;
                scale*=2;
            }

            //decode with inSampleSize
            BitmapFactory.Options o2 = new BitmapFactory.Options();
            o2.inSampleSize=scale;
            return BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f), null, o2);
        } 
        catch(OutOfMemoryError e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
        return null;
    }
