I have a program that shows a thumbnail of an image. If the user clicks on the thumbnail a new
JFrame is opened that shows the full size image. If the image is larger than the screen, it gets scaled to the the size of the screen.
Functionally, the program works well. However, when testing I found that after clicking the thumbnails of several images (and subsequently closing their viewing frames), I get an
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. I'm not really sure what to do about this. Below the code I've included a snippet of the
StackTrace.
I've been searching around, and most forums talk about increasing heap size. I don't want to have to do that. It seems like if I'm properly releasing resources, I shouldn't have the problem. All I want the program to do is: show a full size image in a new window, then return those resources when the window is closed.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Here is my code:
-
//==================================================================================
-
//will scale a provided image to the provided size
-
//==================================================================================
-
public static BufferedImage scaleImage (Image image, int width, int height)
-
{
-
if (image == null)
-
{
-
return null;
-
}
-
else
-
{
-
Image temp = image.getScaledInstance (width, height, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
-
-
BufferedImage scaledImage = new BufferedImage (
-
temp.getWidth (null), temp.getHeight (null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
-
-
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)scaledImage.getGraphics();
-
g2d.drawImage (temp, 0, 0, null);
-
g2d.dispose();
-
-
return scaledImage;
-
}
-
}
-
//==================================================================================
-
//will open a full size version of an image in a new window
-
//==================================================================================
-
public static void showFullSizeImage (BufferedImage temp, String fileName)
-
{
-
final BufferedImage scaledImage;
-
int width = temp.getWidth();
-
int height = temp.getHeight();
-
Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
-
-
Dimension screenDimension = tk.getScreenSize();
-
-
if (temp != null)
-
{
-
if (width >= height)
-
{
-
if (screenDimension.getWidth() >= width)
-
{
-
scaledImage = Utility.scaleImage (
-
temp, (int)(screenDimension.getWidth()), -1);
-
}
-
else
-
{
-
scaledImage = temp;
-
}
-
}
-
else
-
{
-
if (screenDimension.getHeight() >= height)
-
{
-
scaledImage = Utility.scaleImage (
-
temp, -1, (int)(screenDimension.getHeight()));
-
}
-
else
-
{
-
scaledImage = temp;
-
}
-
}
-
}
-
else
-
{
-
scaledImage = null;
-
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane();
-
