Android Studio Java Out of Memory Error

Recently i was coding in android studio and found that when i tried to import an image into an app that i built that the app would crash with an out of memory error.  So i did some research on the issue and ended up on github with some helpful tutorials.

This tip is helpful but could prove problematic.
Got a quick Solution

<application
     android:largeHeap="true" >

put into appplication tag in manifest file.

So i tried this one.

 public static Bitmap decodeFile(File f,int WIDTH,int HIGHT){
 try {
     //Decode image size
     BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
     o.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
     BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f),null,o);

     //The new size we want to scale to
     final int REQUIRED_WIDTH=WIDTH;
     final int REQUIRED_HIGHT=HIGHT;
     //Find the correct scale value. It should be the power of 2.
     int scale=1;
     while(o.outWidth/scale/2>=REQUIRED_WIDTH && o.outHeight/scale/2>=REQUIRED_HIGHT)
         scale*=2;

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

Which would work if i knew how to use decodeFile in my code.

Solution:

Finally i was led to this link Android Developer Site Which had a Android program that i downloaded and studied to find the solution.  If you are like me and find this error just go to the developer site and study the code.  

Thanks for reading.
