background image memory leak - java

I found few topics describing similar problems, but not found a solution for memory leaks being created by pretty simple Android app:
AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="cz.reloecc.testBackground"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10"/>
<application android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher">
<activity android:name="TestBackgroundActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/ui">
</LinearLayout>
TestBackgroundActivity.java:
public class TestBackgroundActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
While changing an orientation of my device (nvidia Tegra Note 7) logcat is noting:
cz.reloecc.testBackground I/dalvikvm-heap﹕ Grow heap (frag case) to 35.625MB for 12904976-byte allocation
with roughly 13MB addition on every turnaround (for biggest version of image)
up to my heap max (64MB):
cz.reloecc.testBackground E/dalvikvm-heap﹕ Out of memory on a 12904976-byte allocation.
cz.reloecc.testBackground I/dalvikvm﹕ at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.nativeDecodeAsset(Native Method)
..
cz.reloecc.testBackground I/dalvikvm﹕ at cz.reloecc.testBackground.TestBackgroundActivity.onCreate(TestBackgroundActivity.java:13)
BUT!
problem does not persist when I delete ui.png (which is set as background) from drawable-land-[x|m|l]dpi OR drawable-[x|m|l]dpi folder in res folder..
so if I have only one version of background image, I can turn device for a long week..
And here is my question: How to handle multiple versions of drawables (set as background) to avoid memory leaks?
//EDIT: I managed few tries of disposing, recycling, destroying, nulling resources or their holders, the last one is based on Aeshang's suggestion:
=== version 2.0 ===
Resources.java:
public class Resources {
public Resources(Context context){
this.context = context;
}
public Drawable getImage(int id){
if(images.indexOfKey(id) < 0){
Drawable drawable = context.getResources().getDrawable(id);
images.put(id, drawable);
}
return images.get(id);
}
public void disposeImages(){
int key;
for(int i = 0; i < images.size(); i++) {
key = images.keyAt(i);
Drawable drawable = images.get(key);
if(drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable){
if(drawable instanceof BitmapDrawable){
Log.i(TestBackgroundActivity.LOG_TAG, "Recycling image " + key);
((BitmapDrawable)drawable).getBitmap().recycle();
}
}
}
}
public void disposeAll(){
disposeImages();
images.clear();
}
private SparseArray<Drawable> images = new SparseArray<Drawable>();
private Context context;
}
TestBackgroundActivity.java:
public class TestBackgroundActivity extends Activity {
public static String LOG_TAG = "[TestBG]";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
resources = new Resources(getApplicationContext());
LinearLayout mainLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
mainLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(resources.getImage(R.drawable.ui));
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy(){
resources.disposeAll();
super.onDestroy();
}
private Resources resources;
}

Use third party libraries to load the drawables
like Picasso or Universal Image Loader
They will automatically handle large bitmaps
And coming to drawables
User 1920X1080 resolution images and put them drawable-xxhdpi folder every thing works fine

Ok,
this should definitely work. Tested in on two other devices, and altrough app is complaining about high memory heap grow. It is gc'ing right after.
My tegra note 7 is THE pain. I will have to find out the right source of this hell.
//edit:
fine, calling
System.gc();
in onDestroy() of MainActivity
and app lasts forever.. who knows why?

Android Nougat, Oreo - How to add long press action to Quick toggles?

I need some help for my app that I'm developing. Current code that I'm using, on long press it launches app info. I want to change that to launch an activity of my app.
The Quick.java class.
#TargetApi(24)
public class Quick extends TileService {
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onTileAdded() {
super.onTileAdded();
}
#Override
public void onTileRemoved() {
super.onTileRemoved();
}
#Override
public void onStartListening() {
super.onStartListening();
}
#Override
public void onStopListening() {
super.onStopListening();
}
#Override
public void onClick() {
super.onClick();
startActivity(Main);
}
}
Just need a onLongClick() method on this code.
In my manifest under <application> tag.
<service
android:name=".Quick"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_quick"
android:label="#string/quick_title"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_QUICK_SETTINGS_TILE">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.service.quicksettings.action.QS_TILE" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
Caution : It's 100% possible to do that in android N and O, for an example take look at this app
Ok I get yes you can implement the Long click listner but here is a issue
Long clicking on your quick settings tile will, by default, go to your app’s info screen. You can override that behavior by adding an intent-filter to one of your activities like so:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.service.quicksettings.action.QS_TILE_PREFERENCES"/>
</intent-filter>
As you have done in your manifest file here a link that might be helpfull look very closely long press quick setting tile in android

Android display Splash-Screen while loading

I have an Android App, which shows a "Splash Screen" for 3 seconds. After that, the MainActivity gets loaded.
Unfortunately the MainActivity takes additional ~4 seconds to load. On first startup even longer. However when the App is loaded, everything runs smooth.
Now how can I achieve it, that the MainActivity gets loaded, during the display of the Splash Screen? It just should display an image until the whole thing loaded completely.
I have read about Async-Task, but I'm not sure where to put it and how to use it properly. Can someone help me please?
SplashScreen.java
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_startup);
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
}
}
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener, MediaController.MediaPlayerControl {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Some heavy processing
//starting services
//starting Google Text to Speech
//and so on...
}
}
You should not be creating a new thread on startup, instead you should create a view that does not have to wait for your resources to load, as detailed in this article: Splash Screens the Right Way.
As stated in the article, you should create a layer-list drawable instead of a layout XML file:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Fill the background with a solid color -->
<item android:drawable="#color/gray"/>
<!-- Place your bitmap in the center -->
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="center"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then create a theme using the drawable file as a background. I use the background attribute instead of the windowBackground attribute as suggested in the article, because background takes the status and navigation bars into account, centering the drawable better. I also set windowAnimationStyle to null so that the splash screen does not animate the transition to the MainActivity:
<resources>
<!-- Base application theme -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
<!-- Splash Screen theme -->
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/background_splash</item>
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">#null</item>
</style>
</resources>
Then declare your theme in the manifest for your SplashActivity:
<activity android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
And finally all you have to do in your SplashActivity is start your MainActivity, and the splash screen will only show for as long as it takes for your app to configure:
public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
}
If there are no specific constraints about the time the splash screen should be shown, you could use the AsyncTask in the following way:
public class SplashScreen extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_startup);
startHeavyProcessing();
}
private void startHeavyProcessing(){
new LongOperation().execute("");
}
private class LongOperation extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
//some heavy processing resulting in a Data String
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
Thread.interrupted();
}
}
return "whatever result you have";
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
Intent i = new Intent(SplashScreen.this, MainActivity.class);
i.putExtra("data", result);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {}
}
}
If the resulting data if of another nature than a String you could put a Parcelable Object as an extra to your activity. In onCreate you can retrieve the data with:
getIntent().getExtras.getString('data');
How about, in the interest of simplicity, you combine your splash activity with your main activity? That way you get the best of both worlds, namely a splash screen while your data is preparing the first time, and a quick startup when it's been prepared previously. Making the user wait for nothing is not really good form...
Something like:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener, MediaController.MediaPlayerControl {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Initially shows splash screen, the main UI is not visible
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Start an async task to prepare the data. When it finishes, in
// onPostExecute() get it to call back dataReady()
new PrepareDataAsyncTask(this).execute();
}
public void dataReady() {
// Hide splash screen
// Show real UI
}
}
your splash screen code works fine but when you call next activity then in onCreate() use Asynctask for your heavy tasks...
I have had similar problem. There was a blank loading screen (not even toolbar). Mu culprit was in the manifest in the MainActivity:
android:launchMode="singleInstance"
Just do like in this article:
1 - create a XML layout like this for the splash screen. I called it "background_splash.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#color/cardview_light_background"/>
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/kiss_com_sub_logo"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
2 - Then, go to the styles.xml and write a style like this:
<style name="SplashTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/background_splash</item>
</style>
3 - Write an activity to your splash. I called it SplashActivity.kt
class SplashActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
val intent = Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
finish()
}
}
4 - Finally, go to you AndroidManifest.xml and add your activity splash: (Note: don't remove anything in the AndroidManifest, just add this before the Main activity).
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="Kiss"
android:theme="#style/SplashTheme">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
This is done. You don't need to worry about the time that your application will demand to start, the splash will be there just for enough time. When your MainActivity is ready, it will be showed.

Error persists~ "fullscreen_content_controls cannot be resolved or is not a field"

I'm kind of a noob android developer, and I hit a few bumps while trying to create a button that opens a new layout. While I was doing that, I got a few errors that would not go away no matter what I tried. In response, I copied most of the xml files and java files that I had changed from the original structure, and I added them to a new project, thinking all my errors would go away. I really need some help, I can't tell you how long I have been stuck on this small error. I have attached the main FullScreenActivity.java, activity_main.xml, the Android Manifest, and the error messages. Thank you in advance for the help guys, I really do appreciate it! c:

~~~~??? is the project/application name
~~~~I have marked the section that received the errors with '***'s
You have not defined
fullscreen_content_controls
fullscreen_content
The above id in your activity_main.xml Thats why you are getting
fullscreen_content_controls cannot be resolved or is not a field FullscreenActivity.java .
As looking at your code you have not declare any View with the id
fullscreen_content_controls
fullscreen_content in your activity_main.xml.
If you want to get rid of this problem you have to define two Views with the id you are mentioning in your code.
Edit
you will usually call setContentView(int) with a layout resource defining your UI, and using findViewById(int) to retrieve the widgets in that UI So whatever view you have declared in your Ui Xml you can get those.
Like in your case you have defined button so something like
Button someButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
will work for you now you can use this widget in your application.
This is what I did to solve this problem I faced. It happens when you press ctrl+shift+O to auto import.
the solution is to
Replace import android.R with .R in your activity java file.

requestFeature() before adding content error when trying to make AndEngine work with Google Play Game Service

I have a game I'm working on, that uses AndEngine.
AndEngine has a "BaseGameActivity" and so does Google Play Game Service. I had to rename BaseGameActivity from AndEngine to AEBaseGameActivity and have it as a parent class BaseGameActivity instead of Activity.
But it is giving me this error:
Caused by: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: requestFeature() must be called before adding content
at com.android.internal.policy.impl.PhoneWindow.requestFeature(PhoneWindow.java:226)
at org.andengine.util.ActivityUtils.requestFullscreen(ActivityUtils.java:56)
at org.andengine.ui.activity.AEBaseGameActivity.applyEngineOptions(AEBaseGameActivity.java:427)
at org.andengine.ui.activity.AEBaseGameActivity.onCreate(AEBaseGameActivity.java:83)
Now AndEngine has this piece of code:
public static void requestFullscreen(final Activity pActivity) {
final Window window = pActivity.getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
window.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
}
if I comment the requestFeature line, my projects runs! But it has an ugly title bar.
Does anyone please know a fix for this ?
EDIT, HERE IS SOME MORE CODE:
PS: AEBaseGameActivity.php extends BaseActivity which extends BaseGameActivity (previously just activity)
AEBaseGameActivity.php
public abstract class AEBaseGameActivity extends BaseActivity implements IGameInterface, IRendererListener {
#Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle pSavedInstanceState) {
if(BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
Debug.d(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + ".onCreate" + " #(Thread: '" + Thread.currentThread().getName() + "')");
}
super.onCreate(pSavedInstanceState);
this.mGamePaused = true;
this.mEngine = this.onCreateEngine(this.onCreateEngineOptions());
this.mEngine.startUpdateThread();
this.applyEngineOptions(); //REQUEST FULLSCREEN
this.onSetContentView(); //SET CONTENT VIEW
}
...
private void applyEngineOptions() {
final EngineOptions engineOptions = this.mEngine.getEngineOptions();
if(engineOptions.isFullscreen()) {
ActivityUtils.requestFullscreen(this); //ACTIVITY UTIL SHOWN LATER
}
...
}
...
protected void onSetContentView() {
this.mRenderSurfaceView = new RenderSurfaceView(this);
this.mRenderSurfaceView.setRenderer(this.mEngine, this);
this.setContentView(this.mRenderSurfaceView, AEBaseGameActivity.createSurfaceViewLayoutParams());
}
}
ActivityUtils.java
public class ActivityUtils {
public static void requestFullscreen(final Activity pActivity) {
final Window window = pActivity.getWindow();
window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FORCE_NOT_FULLSCREEN);
window.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //IF COMMENTING THIS, THE GAME IS RUNNING
}
...
}
EDIT2:
The code is basically only AndEngine, here is the original code:
https://github.com/nicolasgramlich/AndEngine/tree/GLES2/src/org/andengine/ui/activity
My changes:
renamed BaseGameActivity to AEBaseGameActivity
BaseActivity extends BaseGameActivity (taken from Google Play Game Service) instead of Activity
BaseGameActivity and GameHelper.java taken from BaseGameUtils from Google Play Game Service.
Ok so this is what I did:
I commented out the line that is causing the problem (ActivityUtils.java line 56 of AndEngine)
I added this in my activity to the Android Manifest:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
It ends up looking something like:
<activity
android:name=".GameActivity"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Exception requestFeature() must be called before adding content telling everything
call requestFullscreen() before setContenview()
Edit
try REQUEST FULLSCREEN after super.onCreate()
#Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle pSavedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(pSavedInstanceState);
this.applyEngineOptions(); //REQUEST FULLSCREEN

Admob - no ad to show

I try to make some example program showing ads on Android phone, and I try to test it on Emulator of v2.2

I have confront the same problem with
onFailedToReceiveAd( No ad to show).
It seems AdMob not sent ad content for our app for some reasons. Even when I in testing mode there's still no ad.
I create my house ad on AdMob to verify my application. It's an easier way in development than testing mode.
I implemented AdListener on my Activity and set it as the AdView listener, then added the following
public void onFailedToReceiveAd(Ad arg0, ErrorCode arg1)
{
Log.d("AdMob", "Failed to receive an Ad. Requesting a new one..." + arg1);
arg0.stopLoading();
arg0.loadAd(new AdRequest());
}
I had the same problem too. So I changed the code to set the test mode true, then the Admob test ad started to show on the emulator. Try this in your OnCreate() method:
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.main);
AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER, "anonymouse");
// Unit ID is correct, I changed it on purpose while pasting here
adView.setAdListener(this);
AdRequest request = new AdRequest();
request.setTesting(true);
adView.loadAd(request);
If you run this on a real device and still no ad to show, then I guess it might have something to do with Admob fill rate.
Change the test mode to true. Note that ads will not be displayed until at least 3 access attempts are made for the day.
It appears that the latest admob SDK 4.0.4 doesn't display ads on 1.5 devices.
In the emulator it works fine for 1.6+, but not 1.5.
I think its from the new cross-over advertising with AdSense. As far as I can tell the SDK now wraps a webview as the visual component of the view so it can publish the different kinds of ads. A close look at the log shows WebView.multitouch enabled - as 1.5 doesn't support multitouch (for us developers in Java) due to Apple throwing its toys out of the pram and having a dummyspit (I understand they believe only they are allowed to use two fingers at once..) and perhaps enabling multitouch on the webview causes an internal exception and the view never gets created, and thus cannot receive the HTML reply from the admob http server.
Also see this link
1/ get the latest SDK version
2/ try admob demo with your publisher id
3/ try it in test mode (this should work always)
4/ try to add some sample house ads (shown when there is no other ad available)
5/ try to change your keywords
In general, admob prints detailed error to log (ID missing, activity missing in manifest etc).
I had done the admob integration and that is run on device as well as on emulator.
so, please try below code:
I think you have to remove textview from main.xml
and also try this:
1) Create new app on in your admob a/c
2) then simply replace the id of previous app by new one
try it bro.
I also get this problem. You can try to customized the request, before loading. Like this:
AdRequest re = new AdRequest();
//re.setTesting(true);
re.setGender(AdRequest.Gender.FEMALE);
adview.loadAd(re);
I put my example, apk file and source code here, you can try:
Add Google Admob in Android Application
