Out of memory issue - Githubissues

khanzzirfan commented 9 years ago

Hi, The sample app give me an OOM error after loading 40 images. Can the Disk cache can be cleared when loading after 35 images or based on size of the image cache?

Thank you.

khanzzirfan commented 9 years ago

Just to let you know that I have added these following URLs to test the image loading and the app fails after 40 images loaded. Could be these images are big in size? but I thought the disk cache should handle it when it reaches the size limit.

Hi @sahilkhan99 I tried with 40 images like in your example and don't have any issue. Could you write your device name and Android version? Also are you experiencing this in simulator or in real device?

khanzzirfan commented 9 years ago

Hi @molinch I"m testing on samsung galaxy s3 with the sample app, app can be found here https://github.com/sahilkhan99/learnings

Scroll through all the way to the end,and come back, it will crash..when it exceeds 64 MB of memory.

The below is the OOM message.

With Genymotion that simulates a Galaxy S3/Android 4.1.1 I don't reproduce this issue. Do you have more feedback to share?

kenkyee commented 9 years ago

The genymotion emulator gives the devices too much memory. The OS is probably limiting you. FWIW, I've also seen an occasional OOM crash on our app as well on real devices. If you try it in a regular Android AVD emulator, the OOM crashes happen more often. Seems like there's a leak in FFImageLoading or it's not loading images efficiently (in native Android, you can load a reduced size image into memory instead of the whole thing by setting bitmap samplesize on the decoder....not sure if you can do this in C# as well but it would help)... When this happens, I also see cache corruption which is a bigger issue. When FFImage is told to load an image, it sometimes loads the wrong one :-(

molinch commented 9 years ago

@kenkyee DownSample() method is here to load images efficiently. When you use it, only the reduced size is loaded into memory. Regarding the OOM I will investigate, since there are 2 garbage collectors involved most of the time OOMs come from code using FindViewById and not disposing the views. Meanwhile you can also update your android manifest to use android:largeHeap="true"

kenkyee commented 9 years ago

I already have largeheap enabled (it was crashing a lot w/o it) and am using DownSample everywhere. To reproduce the OOM memory swap, try having a collapsing toolbar header w/ an image and then a recyclerview that you can scroll through at high speed. I'm doing CancelLoading on the ImageViewAsync in the viewholder before telling FFImage to load into it, so it should not be leaking.

Could you elaborate on the FindViewById and not disposing the view? E.g., an example of what not to do and a best practice?

molinch commented 9 years ago

A couple of commits have been done to improve the situation:

Handle .NET & Java OOMs and force a garbage collection when it happens: ff619eb3f6c868907b39d5032aedcad149c6e401
Use WeakReferences instead of SoftReferences: they are garbage collected sooner 8fb206b7588e56017e365190e708a232a7f62090 and a couple of Bitmap Dispose calls so .NET world is no longer keeping a reference to the Bitmap. Only Java world is aware of it.
No alpha transparency by default. This becomes a parameter: 6cb8430ae408bac0385ead815e0981c3ba58ed5e It allows saving 50% of memory since 1 pixel is on 2 bytes instead of 4

@kenkyee @sahilkhan99 Could you try to reproduce your issues using git sourcecode?

@kenkyee Regarding FindViewById: you should dispose all views that you get with FindViewById. Otherwise this leads to leaks in the app.

khanzzirfan commented 9 years ago

@molinch I'm Testing the sample app with in this library, and I have scroll forward to 80 images and when I started scolling back, GC keep increasing and the OOM happens again.

I'm using my phone Samsung galaxy S3 for testing. Here is the application console output.

On positive note, app won't crash because of OOM and OOM message can only be seen while debugging in the application console output window. As I believe the whole code is written under try catch blocks and as soon as OOM exceeds, it is calling GC and restting the disk cache. Hence app continues to load images with out crash.

kenkyee commented 9 years ago

Dum question, but how do I get the code into our project...it's currently using the NuGet. And when should the FIndViewById references be Disposed? It's generally a coding pattern in Android to use viewholders and do all the FindViewById when an Activity is created. They're released automatically when those objects are destroyed.

For memory usage, I see similar issues as sahilkhan99 in our app. We have the typical Android app w/ a collapsing hero image at the top and a few listviews in viewpagers w/ images. If I flip through really fast and swipe around the viewpager, the new image gets corrupted (with a random image from one of the listviews you're swiping) which is bizarre because it stays in place and has already been loaded. I'm starting to look at it through Xamarin Studio's Profiler and memory usage does keep growing but it doesn't say where it's from...just lots of byte[] allocations and a call to java inputstream. Will update if I find anything useful or chase this down...

molinch commented 9 years ago

@sahilkhan99 Yes basically the app isn't crashing anymore due to OOMs. I will contact our Xamarin support to know why the GC is not collecting without an explicit call to it (when we get an OOM). Since the crash is fixed, even though the underlying issue remains, it's less "sensible".

@kenkyee I will update Nuget packages today. Objects found via FindViewById should be disposed in OnDestroy via calling .Dispose() on each, as well as having event handlers removed via -= MyEventHandler. Regarding the image corruption to be honest I have no idea since i don't have this issue on my side. If you have any sample to share I'm happy to look at it.

kenkyee commented 9 years ago

Spent some time w/ the Xamarin Profiler...doesn't give much useful info because it doesn't show you much about what objects are using memory on the Android side. I can take a memory snapshot, then switch viewpagers, fling around the recyclerview lists and take another snapshot and only a few MB are used. But the total app mem usage has ballooned to 300MB.

But FWIW, I swapped in the Square.Picasso NuGet and I don't get that header image corruption any more and it feels a bit faster. Still dies eventually though because the OOM happens on the Android side instead of the Xamarin side :-P In a Recyclerview's viewholder, you can't dispose imageviews....they're managed by the recyclerview/viewholder. If you dispose them, you'd have to look them up each time and this would make the viewholder speedup negligible.

molinch commented 9 years ago

@sahilkhan99 @kenkyee The changes are now on NuGet sorry for the delay.

Btw @kenkyee even though OOMs still occur, crashes are fixed, since the GC runs when it happens. Regarding the speed I don't know: where do you believe is the speed latency? while retrieving images from internet? While displaying them? While loading them from disk cache or from disk? I am still interested to look at your image corruption issue but maybe you can raise another ticket for that. It could be nice if you attached to it a sample or at least a screencast.

kenkyee commented 9 years ago

Sorry..."speedier" should be lagginess...sometimes when ffimage was used, the UI would pause a little (probably doing GC is my guess). FFImage actually displayed images faster in the recyclerview of images like it was using more threads than Picasso. I'm still puzzled by that Xamarin Profiler screencap above. I'd bet if you tried it w/ your sample app, you'd see similar oddness. I get the sense it's some Xamarin issue w/ it holding onto imageviews too long in recyclerviews or something weird like that. The memory usage shouldn't be spiking so hard on the Android side when there is no similar spike on the Xamarin side. And out of curiosity, what problems did you have w/ Picasso so I can keep an eye out for them?

molinch commented 8 years ago

FFImageLoading 1.1.6 has been released: https://github.com/molinch/FFImageLoading/releases/tag/v1.1.6

This release improves a lot the situation so I will consider this issue as done. If you still experience weird behaviours, lags, or OOMs I would suggest creating a new issue & referencing #30. Here it's getting too long & we mix a couple of things.

Regarding your questions:

I tried the profiler and saw similar weirdness. My bet is that having 2 GCs makes things much more complex... I asked Xamarin about it therefore they did not provided any useful info.
With Picasso we got lot of OOMs. Our app has 10 to 15 horizontal list views, each list view contains images of different sizes and can have 20 to 40 images. We tried a couple of approaches but could not solve our OOMs. We got sick of it, especially since it was impossible to debug, that's why I wrote this lib.

molinch commented 8 years ago

@kenkyee @sahilkhan99 Bitmap cache/bitmap pool has been heavily rewritten, based on TangoAndCache. This change drastically limits allocations. Could you give it a try?
