Uploading Image using InputStreams = Out Of Memory error
<p>I am trying to upload an image but I am getting some out of memory errors if the image file is over ~2 megs on an Android device.</p>

<pre><code>File file = new File(&lt;my image file&gt;);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); 
PutMethod method = new PutMethod(myUrl); 
RequestEntity requestEntity = new InputStreamRequestEntity(fis);
method.setRequestEntity(requestEntity); 
client.executeMethod(method); 
</code></pre>

<p>The out of memory error happens on the executeMethod line.  How can I change this to read the stream as it goes along instead of reading the entire stream into memory and causing a crash?</p>

<p>Sample of hte DDMS output:</p>
