hi guys, i got my app up and running thanks to smugs advice on a xml file, which came from a plugin i had used on the ios app,the apps starts fine, but crashes after startup, with these errors, can anyone point me in the right direction,these below where all in red in the logcat 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): FATAL EXCEPTION: Thread-618 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeStream(Native Method) 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:527) 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:599) 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): at com.uktheatres.BT_imageLoader.loadImage(BT_imageLoader.java:99) 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): at com.uktheatres.BT_imageLoader.access$0(BT_imageLoader.java:95) 06-16 21:32:28.548: E/AndroidRuntime(9473): at com.uktheatres.BT_imageLoader$1.run(BT_imageLoader.java:72) Thanks sean

Are your image filenames properly set to avoid conflict?

all the images are held externally ie a url

It looks to me to be related to loading images and running out of memory. Are your app images optimised? Instead f referencing as URL's it might be better to put them in the project - i.e. res/drawable unless they are part of html.

What's happening 'right before' that fatal exception? Usally the activities leading up to the crash are suspect, but aren't visible in the paste you provided... Cheers! -- Smug

is that enough for you smug, i was going to put all the images with both the ios and android version on next build, but if its gonna help now, i will do it now, unless you can see something im missing smug Thanks sean

Graphics and Android is an issue, I don't know why but it is, android is sensitive to sizes of graphics - there a re a few posts about this in the forums. Two things from my own experience that will help and I would strongly recommend. 1) Optimise your images, by making them the the size you need and not bigger. There are two parts to this: a) make them the right height and width. For example, I've noticed the last image in your app before the crash was 840px × 817px, the one before is 198px × 197px, but I think they are both used in the same place (I looked at the ios version). b) use this online utility to shrink them once they are the right size https://tinypng.com/ 2) After you have done that, I bet your app will not crash in the same place, but moving them all into the project will also be a good step.

Hmmm.... Is this on an emulator or on a device? It may be that the emulator (if this is the only tested platform) needs more memory allocated to it. Emulators traditionally won't have the same resources as a 'real' device. If you're experiencing this on a 'device' then I'd check the images to ensure nothing is too big. I don't see anything going 'wrong' at first glance... it just looks like you're loading images from cache... Cheers! -- Smug

cheers guys, i do use that tiny png alan, but some images might have slipped through, i will get all the images in a folder and optimise and resize, so there all as small as i can get them, cheers for the pointers, i know where to start now Thanks sean

Let us know how it goes Sean Cheers, Alan

will do alan, I'm still working on finishing compiling the images, then i get them all in a folder and make sure there all set sizes and then i can start compiling android, will keep you informed how it go,s dude, thanks sean

ps its on a real device smug, as i learned last time with eclipse, the simulators are troublesome, cheers sean
