java.lang.OutOfMemoryError when calling getDrawable()

I get the following out of memory error and I'm not sure why.

I am using a 5 level resource to indicate wifi status and here is the code I'm using
WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
// Level of current connection
int rssi = wifiManager.getConnectionInfo().getRssi();
int level = WifiManager.calculateSignalLevel(rssi, 5);
Drawable db = getDrawable(R.drawable.stat_sys_wifi_signal);
db.setLevel(level);
wifiMenu.setIcon(db);
The images are all the same size (512x512).
In reference to other answers out there I have got largeheap in my manifest.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use TinyPNG
TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file
size of your PNG files. By selectively decreasing the number of colors
in the image, fewer bytes are required to store the data. The effect
is nearly invisible but it makes a very large difference in file size!
Compress all images using this link.
Reduce the size of all picture before use in your Android applications.
Make sure you read the document Loading Large Bitmaps Efficiently given by #mudit_sen.
Hope this may help you.

App crash on large string in TextView

I am trying to display 4 long pieces of text (about 250 chars long each) inside a TextView separated by a few images on android. This is inside a fragment which is placed in a scrollView on the Host activity to make it scrollable.
But it throws
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
I was surprised to see that the app went out of memory by this because the only thing it has to do is display 250 characters and apply word wrap to it. So after googling it I set android:largeHeap to true to see what would happen. The application does load the text but it uses a lot of CPU resources and makes the UI come to a snail phase.
So I am wondering: what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks for reading.

I am sorry but after looking into the log again I realized that I imported the images on full 1080p resolution which is too much to process for android.graphics.BitmapFactory and that is why it goes out of memory.
I made the images to a mobile friendly size and it worked fine.

Android 'Spinning Wheel' application crashes at launch

I've taken a code from a tutorial about a spinning wheel.
I've adjusted the code to work from my application but it's crashing for some reason and I can't figure out why.
I'll really appreciate any kind of help.

Sounds to me like your animated image is too large. You have have separate sized images for each drawable type? hdpi, mdpi, xhdpi, etc...
Use the Android Asset Studio to scale images if needed.

Have you tried to initialise the byte with a lower value ?
Sometimes the Memory of your phone can't process such high va. lues.

It happens every time i capture on the Galaxy S5.
Here are the parameters which I'm using to start scan intent:
Intent scanIntent = new Intent(CardInfoActivity.this, CardIOActivity.class);
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_APP_TOKEN, Constants.CARD_IO_TOKEN);
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_REQUIRE_CVV, true);
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_REQUIRE_EXPIRY, true);
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_SUPPRESS_CONFIRMATION, true);
scanIntent.putExtra(CardIOActivity.EXTRA_SUPPRESS_MANUAL_ENTRY, true);
startActivityForResult(scanIntent, MY_SCAN_REQUEST_CODE);
Maybe anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Android bitmaps keep the image in native memory, not on the Java heap. If you allocate a bunch of images quickly this can happen, since cleanup only happens when the Java GC runs, which is tied to the Java heap. Ensuring you call bitmap.recycle() when you're done with images you've been working with can help.

how to play large PCM file via AudioTrack? (Currently getting errors)

I have been working on some code for an app i am making, and i need to play large PCM files (upwards of 600mb).
This is the current code for my play() method:
public void play(View view) {
Toast.makeText(this, "play", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
// Get the file we want to playback.
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "ACS.pcm");
// Get the length of the audio stored in the file (16 bit so 2 bytes per short)
// and create a short array to store the recorded audio.
int musicLength = (int)(file.length()/2);
short[] music = new short[musicLength];
try {
// Create a DataInputStream to read the audio data back from the saved file.
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
// Read the file into the music array.
int i = 0;
while (dis.available() > 0) {
music[musicLength-1-i] = dis.readShort();
i++;
}
// Close the input streams.
dis.close();
// Create a new AudioTrack object using the same parameters as the AudioRecord
// object used to create the file.
AudioTrack audioTrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
44100,
AudioFormat.CHANNEL_OUT_MONO,
AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT,
musicLength,
AudioTrack.MODE_STREAM);
// Start playback
audioTrack.play();
// Write the music buffer to the AudioTrack object
audioTrack.write(music, 0, musicLength);
} catch (Throwable t) {
Log.e("AudioTrack","Playback Failed");
}
}
However the application crashes on the line: short[] music = new short[musicLength];
I believe this is because the app is trying to create an array of a very large size, hence using up a lot of memory (ram).
The logcat from the crash is:

I have searched on google, but i cant seem to find any way of playing the PCM file without first loading it into a short array.
If someone knows of a way around this, and wouldnt mind sharing, i would be very grateful.
Thanks
Corey

The problem is that you are trying to read a 600+ Mbyte file into memory in one go, and your app can't get enough memory to do that.
What you need to do is to create a smaller buffer, and read the audio file in chunks, writing each chunk to the AudioTrack ... in a loop.
(Note: I'm only going from what the AudoioTrack javadoc says. You'd do better reading it for yourself ...)
