Solution I tried for it
==================
1>
BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inTempStorage = new byte[16*1024];
bitmapImage = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(path,opt);

2>
bm.recycle();

But, I tried that, and this approach is not working.

What is the proper solution for it ?

Please help me out.

Thanks in advance,
Andy
