Giant online image gallery - How do I avoid OutOfMemoryError?
- by Ben L.
For anyone who's wondering, the gallery is http://www.spore.com/sporepedia.
My app uses the Spore API to get the 100 newest creations, then displays them in a GridView. The text data about the creations is easy to store, but the images present a problem.
As far as I know, I can either keep the images in a Hashtable or grab them every time they are viewed. Neither of these will work - the Hashtable quickly presents an OutOfMemoryError, and the constant reloading causes a lot of load on the server and a lot of lag on the client.
Is there a better way to store the images?
