Instrumentation run failed due to 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError' if I use solo.takeScreenshot

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. I run a series of test methods (more than 10) and I take some screenshot during every test (about 5 screenshots for test) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I'm having an OutOfMemoryException when I enable taking screenshot during my test with Robotium. If I disable taking screenshot it's ok.

[2014-01-09 10:53:28 - MyAppTest] Test run failed: Instrumentation run failed due to 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError' What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I had this problem on versions 4.2, 4.3, 4.1 Please provide any additional information below. As you can see in the code below I've a variable that let me decide if I want to take screenshot or not; if I enable taking screenshot I've the error above after I run about 10 test methods (I take from 1 to 10 screenshot for each test).

This is the code I run: public class TestApk extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2{ private static final String LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME="com.xxx.xxxnew.activities.XxxActivity"; private static Class launcherActivityClass;

private static final boolean ENABLE_SCREENSHOT_CAPTURE = true;
private static final int SLEEP_TIME = 4000;

static{
    try{
        launcherActivityClass = Class.forName(LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY_FULL_CLASSNAME);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e){
        throw new RuntimeException(e); 
    } 
}

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public TestApk()throws ClassNotFoundException{
    super(launcherActivityClass); 
}

private Solo solo;

@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
    solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(),getActivity());
}

@Override
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
    solo.finishOpenedActivities();
}

public void test_login_001(){
// ... some Robotium code
if(ENABLE_SCREENSHOT_CAPTURE){
        solo.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
        solo.takeScreenshot("login_001_c");
    }
// ... some Robotium code   
if(ENABLE_SCREENSHOT_CAPTURE){
        solo.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
        solo.takeScreenshot("login_001_c");
    }
}   

public void test_login_002_a(){
// ... some Robotium code
if(ENABLE_SCREENSHOT_CAPTURE){
        solo.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
        solo.takeScreenshot("login_002_a");
    }
// ... some Robotium code   
if(ENABLE_SCREENSHOT_CAPTURE){
        solo.sleep(SLEEP_TIME);
        solo.takeScreenshot("login_001_2");
    }
}   

//other test methods

}

This is the error from LogCat:

This bug is still persistent in Robotium 5.2.1.

I found this bug on a tablet when I try take more screenshots on a 10 inch tablet from Genymotion.
