can you help me? I am using your software in an aar generated from the github source
thank you

Seems like you lost a lot of memory somewhere. The picker is an extremely low-memory component, only using what you give it. Can you analyze your heap and check RAM usage to see what ate your memory?

For example:

https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/investigate-ram.html
https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/am-hprof.html

You should be able to detect which objects caused your drain, and fix accordingly.

[Milos Marinkovic]

Alternatively, you can try setting the large heap attribute in your AndroidManifest.

Hi @yaturner

I'm also using the library and I'm not getting that error. As @milosmns said, it looks like you are leaking memory somewhere.

I can see you are working with squareup.picasso, maybe you are caching images somewhere and that could be the problem. Just a hint ;)

[James Turner]

thank you, I will check my memory usage

[Milos Marinkovic]

Sure, report back when you have more info. ^^

[James Turner]

I am using a memory cache for my bitmaps, I will try reducing the amount of memory I allocate to it

[Milos Marinkovic]

Yep, it's most likely your memory cache, or large bitmaps. Nothing we can workaround from our side.

[Jorge]

So is this a real issue then?
