hello frnzz,

In my project i am fetching a text file from row folder. file size is near about 3 MB. each and every time while reading that text file, heap size grows rapidly. after reaching it's memory limit it gives outOfMemoryException. i have used bufferReader, inputStream and stringBuilder to read file. geeks plz help me. hope for positive responce.

"Plz" show us how you're reading the file.

There are various ways to control memory and avoid packratting,  

the failure to let go of obsolete references. You might not be using 

garbage-collection-friendly idioms. Asking for more memory when you 

aren't managing the memory you already have is tantamount to asking 

for the OOME to continue.

3 MB isn't all that large a file even for Android. I suspect your code is what

has the problem. Perhaps you could put together a Simple, Short, Complete, 

Compilable Example, or SSCCE 

http://sscce.org/

that demonstrates the issue?

Without seeing what you've done, it's a shot in the dark to recommend what 

to do instead.
