Out of memmory for no reason?

[Chrissirhc]

g.drawImage(imageInfo, 0, 0, (int)(this.getSize()).getWidth(), (int)(this.getSize()).getHeight(), this);

This method scales my image imageInfo. Why do I get

Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
<<no stack trace available>>
When this code is run. My image is 2000 by 2000 abouts maybe larger.

When I use the normal drawImage method it works but I would like it scale can anyone help?

I put try catch aroud the statement g.drawImage(imageInfo, 0, 0, (int)(this.getSize()).getWidth(), (int)(this.getSize()).getHeight(), this);

but my catch is not getting run. However this is the only line that I change that gives me this error so maybe the exception is thrown somewhere else?. How do I know where as anyone had this problem before?.

Try catching (Exception e) then on the try part use System.out.println (e.getMessage ()) to have a better clue.

Like yhis

try { ... }
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println (e.getMessage ());
}


also check the size of the image you'll use something like
4 Mbytes for the image.

Their is a limit to how much memory that Java Runtime Files can use on your class. I found this out and the java options allow you to increase the memory size. I would have to look up the article so send me a email if you want more info...........

good luck

those are the VM parameters

set it in your app: -XMS256M

this will expand the available memory up to 256MB.

I'd try with a smaller image,maybe the memory is being consumed elsewhere.

Anyway, if you want to catch that, it's an Error, not an Exception, you'd need to catch Throwable, not Exception. But catching an Error uses to be a not very good practice.

Cheers,
