Try using the sampleSize of BitmapFactory.Options, this will reduce the size in memory of your image (and the quality)

But if your image is really too big, I think that's there no miracle solution, the image is simply too big ...

i use simpleSize image to tiny cause image it large

Uh sorry I missed it ^^'. But I think that a value of 1 doesn't change anything, "If set to a value > 1, requests the decoder to subsample the original image, returning a smaller image to save memory." (from Android reference)

my app load image from url to show pic that image is large. In listview i use simplesize but in imageview if i use ismplesize > 1, that image to smaller.

So I think there's nothing to do :/ As I said there's no miracle solution.

Your problem is exactly what stated in error message: your image is too big to be loaded into memory.

Just a idea, it could be this piece of code throws sometime a exception. This will causes that the InputStream will not release rthe asigned resources (memory leak).

if you close the Input stream in a finaly block this issue should be solved
