Android StrictMode Policy: A resource was acquired at attached stack trace but never released Error


I am using Image Compression method from this link it working fine if i compress single image but as soon as i give this method multiple images to compress in STRICT MODE app get crashed at ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filePath); with logcat all i can understand something is not close which might cause leaks. I tried lots of things but none work it crashed everytime i give this method multiple images.

Image Compression Method

 public static String compressImage(Uri imageUri, boolean multiple, Context context) {

        String   filePath = imageUri.getPath();

        Log.d(TAG,"File Path "+filePath);
        Bitmap scaledBitmap = null;

//      by setting this field as true, the actual bitmap pixels are not loaded in the memory. Just the bounds are loaded. If
//      you try the use the bitmap here, you will get null.
        options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath, options);
        Log.d(TAG,"Bitmap value "+bmp);

        int actualHeight = options.outHeight;
        int actualWidth = options.outWidth;
        Log.d(TAG,"Actual Height and Width "+actualHeight+" "+actualWidth);

//      max Height and width values of the compressed image is taken as 816x612

        float maxHeight = 816.0f;
        float maxWidth = 612.0f;
        float imgRatio = actualWidth / actualHeight;
        float maxRatio = maxWidth / maxHeight;

//      width and height values are set maintaining the aspect ratio of the image

        if (actualHeight > maxHeight || actualWidth > maxWidth) {
            if (imgRatio < maxRatio) {               imgRatio = maxHeight / actualHeight;

Solution

  • When it comes to ExifInterface, always use one from a library, for a few reasons:
