Android Question How to load a huge image without outofmemory exception

[Cableguy]

Hi guys,

How can I load a BIG image and still avoid the OutOfMemory exception?
What I aim to do is to show a HiRes image, zoom fitted to the screen, and with user double tap, zoom in in the zone tapped.
Any ideas?

If the image is too large then it will not be possible to load it completely.

Check Jpeg library. It allows you to load parts of the image.
You can combine it with LoadBitmapSample to load smaller images.

So I could then just load a sampled zoomed out image, and after load the tapped part of the image zoomed in, right?
