RMS Out of memory error

[j2me8]

Hi,

I am getting "RMS out of memory error" in my app when i try to access List, which will be filled from RMS.And number of items in List will be 60 above.I am using NOKIA 2626 handset...which is target device......

How can i avoid such errors......

Thanks........

Hi,
While writing some data in RMS then please check that how much is the memory available..in the targeted device..you are supposed to..

find the technical details here..
http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/2626
in that you will find the details like -

Max User Storage: 2 MB

Max JAR Size: 128 KB

Heap size: 512 KB

Please check that how much the heap as well as the jar size of your application is..

More important thing is that how much amount of data you wanna save in the targeted device.Is this size is less than the MAX size limit of persistent storage of that device.

So,please check the size of data you are saving in RMS..
Thanks,

Hi,

RMS out of memory suggests insufficient memory available on the handset. Implement the same application on some other handset with more memory and I am sure that this error wont come.

To remove this error you have to use less memory or after say 10 values are stored in RMS overwrite the contents. But again this will be useful if you no longer need those elements.

Thanks for replies,

but as i confirmed RMS data is not much so that RMS memory will get full.....is it issue of Heap consumption??... because while loading list its getting error.....

And if yes then how to handle the same??

Hi,

The error that you have specified suggests that RMS memory is getting full. May be you are right that it may be the problem of heap memory.

You can use Memory monitor available in wireless toolkit. That will give a clear idea of where your program is consuming maximum memory.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,
AT the time of loading of the application what resources including images , media,etc file you are loading and how you are loading...
it is rather more important that you load every thing in a perfecta and priority basis..

You can go through
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...d.php?t=114230
else you can search the forum for the same..this thread have been discussed so many times..
Thanks,

Again Thanks for Replies...

but i am not loading the List with Images ....only the Strings i am using.........

And this issue i am facing only in handsets...not on emulators.......

So any idea.......why this is happening while loading the List.....

Is it handset issue.......??

As far as i think it is clearly a issue of low heap. Use System.gc() before you are retrieving the list from rms.

this may help you.

Hi,
What is the size of the data you are loading from RMS and writing to the RMS.

Hi,

Yes it seems to be the handset issue. Have you tried it on some other phone. If not then please try out on a different phone and see whats the change.

For your application on the current phone I would suggest to use PushRegistry. Say your application is getting crashed in 30 minutes then destroy your application after 25 minutes and restart the application using PushRegistry.

Hope this helps you out.

Hi,
Provide the step by step flow here,what you are doing..?
Thanks,

Please have a check for available memory when you are loading the lists.
Also you could load the list from RMS piece by piece instead of a whole big list. This way you can reduce ur app footprint.
1 more thing Strings are always heavy on the HEAP. so thats why when the device uses a lot of heap memory, the memory available for RMS is reduced.
thus throwing the error.
Best way for you to solve the issue would be to break up the list into parts of say 10 at a time.
