There has been a lot of issues with Bitmap over the years. I suggest to offer a library for it:

- All would be on native memory instead of heap, to avoid OOM
- library that should be supported from API 14.
- allow direct decoding into specific resolution, cropping if needed.
- handling exif rotation in all forms, including correct, direct decoding or region decoding. This should include ImageView that can handle it

I'm also seeing this issue, specifically under low-memory conditions and only on a Nexus 5x running Nougat. I was trying to launch a camera intent from a fragment. I've attached my log as well.

Status: Won't Fix (Intended Behavior)

I'm seeing this crash too, specifically on build NBD90W of Android on the nexus 5x (october security patches). We're not using a camera intent, but we're using the camera API directly.

Oh, good point -- I, too, am running build NBD90W with the October 5 security patches.

Same here and my app uses Google Maps and a few images. It only crashes upon exit. My device is also Nexus 5X w/ build number NBD90W.

I am on NBD90W as well.

I was the reporter for the question on Stackoverflow -- I'm definitely glad other people are having this issue. Hopefully it can be resolved!
