How to avoid OutOfMemory Exception in android- Second Method?

In the previous tutorial I showed you one method to avoid OutOfMemory Exception in android.
And In this tutorial I will show you another method.
The reduceImageSize function in this code reduces the image to the desired size you want.
Create a fresh project and copy this code into it.
How to put images inside the emulator is shown in this example.

This example shows how to get an image from inside the gallery.
And this example show how to copy images from gallery to another location in SDCARD.

Give your requred size in the varisble REQUIRED_SIZE to change according to your wish.
