loading large OBJ File

[gaurav]

i am trying to load large obj file (12mb) but app is crashing . but same code is working to load obj file having 1 mb

My code is

File sdRoot = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
            File file = new File(sdRoot+ "/WatchApp/12345.obj");
            InputStream inputStream = null;
            try {
               inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
            } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e1.printStackTrace();
            }
            cube = Object3D.mergeAll(Loader.loadOBJ(inputStream, null, 5f));

cube.build();

            world.addObject(cube);

Yes, most likely because is too large and you run into an out of memory error. "is crashing" is of the same quality as "doesn't work"...nobody can derive anything from that description. Please post a stack trace or at least an error message.
However, in this case, it's most likely a simple out of memory. There's not much you can do about this. You can increase the memory on newer devices by adding

Code Select Expand

android:largeHeap="true"

to your manifest file, but that only cures the symptoms. Personally, i would consider a 12mb file to be too large for a mobile device anyway. If you absolutely have to use it, have a look at serialized objects: http://www.jpct.net/wiki/index.php/Differences_between_jPCT_and_jPCT-AE#Performance_and_memory_issues.2C_serialized_objects

As said, it's out of memory

am i doing wrong to load? even android:largeHeap="true" giving same result ..any way avoid this
            

[EgonOlsen]

Just read the rest of my post above and try to use serialized objects instead. If that still doesn't work, your object is simply too large.

Also make sure that you've used android:largeHeap="true" correctly. I find it hard to believe that it doesn't help unless you are using a pretty old device.

[gaurav]

i am using gt-i9300(s3) ,running 4.4.4 even i tested on moto G (4.4.4)  ..any tut for using serialized objects

[EgonOlsen]

The easiest way might be to try the ecplise plugin that the wiki mentions. If that's not an option, you have to do something like this:

• Download desktop jPCT and unzip it
• Create a new project in your IDE that includes the desktop jPCT jar
• Create a new class with a main method in your project and load the model just as you would do it jPCT-AE. You might have to increase heap memory in your project as well to load it.
• Call build() on the object, create a nw DeSerializer instance and serialize the Object3D in reduced format.
• Run your class.
• Copy the resulting file into your Android project.
• Load it via the Loader class.

[EgonOlsen]

One addition: You might want to zip the resulting file and load it via a ZipInputStream, because otherwise, it will be pretty large.

android:largeHeap="true" is  working , perv i have puted in wrong place .
for 12 mb obj file it took ard 3 min and 2048*2048 texture 1 min so overall it took 4 min to load that model.is it right behaviour

Thanks For help
one more qus can i apply pinch zoom for that obj model ?

[EgonOlsen]

As said: 12mb is huge for a mobile device. The loading times are reasonable for that size. Use serialized objects to cut them down. That's why they have been invented in the first place.

[gaurav]

I tired using eclipse plug-in but it requires folder name, i am storing obj file in sd card

[gaurav]

Still i am not getting how to use  serialized. I knw i am asking too much any sample code is present

Just copy the file from the plugin's folder to your sd-card. I fail to see the problem here...

Actually, there isn't much to show. In your serializer project as described above, you simply do:

Code Select Expand


new DeSerializer().serialize(yourObject3D, someOutputStream, true);


then you copy the result and on Android, you do something like

Code Select Expand


Loader.loadSerializedObject(someInputStream);


That's basically it.
