I've created a list of recipes using Listview/customcursoradapter. A custom layout includes a photo for the recipe , Now I've some problems with the performance of viewing and scrolling the Listview although it has only 10 records (Target is 150). sometimes i get this error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget , I've tried to implement the Async task but i failed to do it. Is there any way i can overcome this problem?

Your help is highly appreciated !!

Here is my GetView method

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    View row = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);


    Cursor cursbbn  = getCursor();



    if (row == null)

    {

        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) localContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listtype, null);
    }


    String Title = cursbbn.getString(2);
    String SandID=cursbbn.getString(1);
    String Readyin = cursbbn.getString(4);
    String Faovoites=cursbbn.getString(8);


    TextView titler=(TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.listmaintitle);
    TextView readyinr=(TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.listreadyin);

     int colorPos = position % colors.length;
     row.setBackgroundColor(colors[colorPos]);

    titler.setText(Title);
    readyinr.setText(Readyin);

    ImageView picture = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

    Bitmap bitImg1 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0001);
    Bitmap bitImg2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0002);
    Bitmap bitImg3 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0003);
    Bitmap bitImg4 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0004);
    Bitmap bitImg5 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0005);
    Bitmap bitImg6 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0006);
    Bitmap bitImg7 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0007);
    Bitmap bitImg8 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0008);
    Bitmap bitImg9 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0009);
    Bitmap bitImg10 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(localContext.getResources(), R.drawable.rec0010);


    if(SandID.contentEquals("0001"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg1));

    if(SandID.contentEquals("0002"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg2));

    if(SandID.contentEquals("0003"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg3));

    if(SandID.contentEquals("0004"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg4));

    if(SandID.contentEquals("0005"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg5));

    if(SandID.contentEquals("0006"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg6));
    if(SandID.contentEquals("0007"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg7));
    if(SandID.contentEquals("0008"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg8));
    if(SandID.contentEquals("0009"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg9));

    if(SandID.contentEquals("0010"))
        picture.setImageBitmap(getRoundedCornerImage(bitImg10));




    return row;
}

And This is the error :
