OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate memory within limits

[Ggsdl]

Dear CrazyOrr:
I use this Project, after recording 1 minutes will be crash, the reason is java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate memory within limits: totalBytes = 255M + 112K > maxBytes = 256M
do you have some good suggestions to correct this error
Thanks very much

You can set PREFERRED_PREVIEW_WIDTH and PREFERRED_PREVIEW_HEIGHT to smaller values to try to get a smaller preview size to reduce the memory allocation of it.

Thank you for your reply, I try to set PREFERRED_PREVIEW_WIDTH and PREFERRED_PREVIEW_HEIGHT to smaller like this :
private static final int PREFERRED_PREVIEW_WIDTH = 320; private static final int PREFERRED_PREVIEW_HEIGHT = 240;

But it also crash at 1-2 minutes .
Now , i want record a 10 minutes Video, if use your code , do you have some good suggestions to correct this error ?
Thanks very much

It could be memory leaks.
If you use Android Studio, you can monitor memory usage by View -> Tool Windows -> Android Monitor -> Monitors tab. If you observe that the Allocated memory size gets larger and larger over time, you should Dump Java Heap and do Allocation Tracking to find out what is taking all the memory.

I try to find memory leaks , but not find, can you help me to find this ? I just use your project only change the MAX_VIDEO_LENGTH to 10 minutes, Thanks !

It works fine on my device. Please provide more info about your testing environment (device model, Android version etc) and upload error logs, .hprof, .alloc files around the crash point.

It just point in project file : FFmpegRecordActivity this line frameFilter.push(recordedFrame.getFrame());

This could be a bug upstream. See this issue.
You can try set android:largeHeap to true for now.

I set android:largeHeap to true ,but It does't work also , I see the Monitors ,this project works hightest memory is 50MB, then it crash,reason is :

[CrazyOrr]

Check if org.bytedeco.javacpp.DeallocatorThread is working properly.

I added capacity restraints on frame queues (mFrameToRecordQueue and mRecycledFrameQueue) in the latest commit. So the queues won't increase infinitely to the point of OOM, but frames may get dropped when a queue is full, so video quality may suffer.
