java.io.IOException: Too many file handles open while reading images from gallery

[saquas]

I have problem while i'm reading images from gallery. If the count of images is less then 6 it works fine, but otherwise it thows exception. My code:

      for (int i = 0; i < paths.size(); i++) { //path is Vector of strings
            try {
                FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open((String) paths.elementAt(i));
                Image img = Image.createImage(fc.openInputStream());
                fc.close();
                //fc = null; //i have tried also this solution
                Image pi = createThumbnail(img);
                g.drawImage(pi, posX, posY, 0);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
            posX += 80;
            if (posX == 240) {
                posX = 0;
                posY += 130;
            }
        }

I'm doing something wrong?

This may be due to the memory issue, use a memory monitor any see if the peek hit. After reading a image - try to null all variables and then only re-create - if needed even GC can be called.

Ok, thank you very much for your advice. It helped. As you said it was enough to set fileconnection to null and call gc.
