Android ViewPager crash: InflateException: Binary XML file line #7: Error inflating class

Question

I have created a slideshow using ViewPager, it works ok, but it crashes my app sometimes. There are only 3 pics loaded into it, I use a Timer to make it scroll automatically, onPause I cancel the timer.

I don't really understand why does it crash from time to time, It may be some memory issue? The images are quite small, how could I fix this?

CustomPagerAdapter:

public class CustomPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {

    Context mContext;
    LayoutInflater mLayoutInflater;
    int[] mResources;
    private ImageView imageView;

    public CustomPagerAdapter(Context context, int[] mResources) {
        mContext = context;
        mLayoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        this.mResources = mResources;
    }


    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return mResources.length;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
        return view == ((LinearLayout) object);
    }

    @Override
    public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
        View itemView = mLayoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.pager_item, container, false);

        imageView = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);


        try {
            imageView.setImageResource(mResources[position]);          
            container.addView(itemView);
        } catch (Exception e) {
        }



        return itemView;
    }



    @Override
    public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
        container.removeView((LinearLayout) object);
    }
}

Main Activity:

private CustomPagerAdapter mCustomPagerAdapter;
    private ViewPager mViewPager;
    private Timer swipeTimer;
    protected int currentPage;

    int[] mResources = { 
            R.drawable.homeslide1, 
            R.drawable.homeslide3,
            R.drawable.homeslide2
            };

    private Editor editor;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {        
            View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.home, container, false);

            editor = getActivity().getSharedPreferences("orderStatus", Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();            

            mCustomPagerAdapter = new CustomPagerAdapter(getActivity(), mResources);
            mViewPager = (ViewPager) v.findViewById(R.id.imageSliderHome);
            mViewPager.setAdapter(mCustomPagerAdapter);
            mViewPager.beginFakeDrag();         

    }
 }

@Override
    public void onResume() { 
        super.onResume();

        swipeTimer = new Timer();
        swipeTimer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                getActivity().runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        if (currentPage == mCustomPagerAdapter.getCount()) {
                            currentPage = 0;
                        }
                        mViewPager.setCurrentItem(currentPage++, true);
                    }
                });
            }
        }, 1000, 5000);
    }



    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        swipeTimer.cancel();
    }

Answer 1

As I expected, you get the OutOfMemory exception by loading too large/too many images.

Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.

To avoid it, read this article and this one, and don't forget to recycle() images after using them. Also put the images into drawable-nodpi resource dir.

Answer 2

U can use Runnable and Handler to replace Timer. And show your logcat And try thiss method for scale bitmap
