Image Resize function not working on Android

[imhassan]

Hi, I am calling "window.imageResizer.resizeImage()" with fileURL and storeImage = true. But it crashed android app, gives a popup message " Unfortunately app stopped working". I have used many options but unable to resize the image. Below are my recent options that I have tried.

        window.imageResizer.resizeImage(function(success_resp) {
            utils.debug('success, img re-size: ' + JSON.stringify(success_resp));
            callback(success_resp);
        }, function(fail_resp) {
            utils.debug('fail, img re-size: ' + JSON.stringify(fail_resp));
            // callback(fail_resp);
        }, img_path, $scope.order.category.width2, 0, {
            imageDataType : ImageResizer.IMAGE_DATA_TYPE_URL,
            resizeType : ImageResizer.RESIZE_TYPE_PIXEL,
            pixelDensity:true,
            storeImage : true,
            photoAlbum : false,
            filename : img_path.substr(img_path.lastIndexOf("/") + 1),
            format : 'jpg'
        });

Hi,

Been a while since I worked in it, I'll try debugging it during the weekend and see why it happens. Mind saying what versions of phonegap/cordova and android you are using?

Thanks

I am using Cordova Version 4.2.0 and android 4.0.

@imhassan Do a logcat and check if you don't have an out of memory exception. Also try setting your camera to a lower resolution (eg on an S3 with Android 4.2 and 2GB of RAM, we can resize images if they are 3Mpx, but we quite often get out of memory exception with 6Mpx). Unfortunately it's a recurring issue with Android.

@Heshyo no out of memory exception it just stopped the app when call to "resize_iamge" function. I even tried with lower resolution image.

When the app stops, I usually see the following in logcat:

E/dalvikvm-heap(14422): Out of memory on a 14974336-byte allocation.

Note that I would also get a similar exception when using the default camera plugin while specifying a target width/height (meaning that the camera plugin would end up resizing the image).

Maybe you can supply your logcat, to see if there's anything of interest other than an out of memory exception.

You have to specify an absolute directory string in your options that you pass to the function. Along with storeImage and the other parameters. Doing this the resizer does not crash anymore.

I understand this is now resolved, I am closing the issue, please comment if it still happens.
