Out of memory exception due to large bitmap size

Its not always a good idea to store bitmaps in memory. If you really want to do so then try using SoftReference for your map. Check this

make your map's value argument as SoftReference<Bitmap>. Then while searching in the map use this code snippet

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public class DrawableManager {

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
private final Map<String, SoftReference<Bitmap>> drawableMap;

    @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
    private DrawableManager() {
        drawableMap = new HashMap<String, SoftReference<Bitmap>>();
    }

    static private DrawableManager  _instance;

    static public DrawableManager getInstance() {
        if(_instance == null) {
            _instance = new DrawableManager();
        }
        return _instance;
    }

            SoftReference<Bitmap> reference = drawbaleM.get(imagePath);                  
            if(reference != null) bm = reference.get();
            if(bm != null) {
             return bm;
            }

        byte[] imageData = ThumbImg(sURL);

        if(imageData == null)
            return null;

        if(imageData.length > 0) {
            bm =  BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(imageData, 0, imageData.length);
            if(bm != null) {
                drawableMap.put(sURL, bm);
            }
            return bm;
        }
        else { 
            return null;
        }
    }

Please note this doesnot guarantee relief from OOM. It is not always a good idea to show large bitmaps.

Another option you can go after is use BitmapFactory.Options inSampleSize argument
