android: external allocation too large for this process -- where?

I am getting the following error messages:

07-13 11:02:05.519: ERROR/dalvikvm-heap(1605): 290314-byte external allocation too large for this process.

07-13 11:02:05.519: ERROR/(1605): VM won't let us allocate 290314 bytes

07-13 11:02:05.549: ERROR/dalvikvm-heap(1605): 292612-byte external allocation too large for this process.

07-13 11:02:05.549: ERROR/(1605): VM won't let us allocate 292612 bytes

Is there any way to trace that back or get a stack trace or something that will show where that allocation is attempting to be made?

You can use the Allocation Tracker utility. Check out this article:

Sure, put a try/catch block around the suspected code, making sure to catch Error e, not Exception e, then e.printStackTrace(); in the catch.
