lcdui.Image.createImage -> java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

[sbmcdeshan]

Hi all
I'm on a program of reading incoming images which comes as byte arrays through a socket and convert them back to images at j2me client using the following method.

javax.microedition.lcdui.Image.createImage();

The programs works fine for some time. But after few minutes it prints the error

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

at com.sun.kvem.sublime.SublimeExecutor.run(Unknown Source)

Folowing is client code method (it's a thread)

public void run()
    {
        super.run();
        short length;
 
        while (true)
        {
            DataInputStream din = null;
            try
            {
                din = new DataInputStream(in);
 
                length = din.readShort();	// to determine next data packet size
 
                byte[] arr = new byte[length];  // next data packet store here
 
                din.readFully(arr);  //read image

 
                //#####################################
                img = Image.createImage(arr, 0, arr.length);
                //#####################################
 
                canvas.setImage(img);
                
                ChangeImage.sleep(50);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

Reading of byte arrays through socket communication works fine and they contain no problem.

But problem is

img = Image.createImage(arr, 0, arr.length);

When I comment the above line it works fine for indefinite time period. No problem at all.

I need to know that whether it's not flush old images?
Or are there any other method to convert byte array to images?

Please help me.

What happens in "canvas.setImage()"?

What is the size of the array?

What is the size of the image that fails (in pixels, not bytes)?

What are you running this on?

Cheers,
Graham.
