Android - OutOfMemoryError when running tests on a MapActivity

[gianpi]

Hello,

we're currently trying to set up Jenkins to automate the build and
test of one of our Android projects.
The setup seems to work fine, using the android emulator plugin and
ant, but the build keeps failing with an OutOfMemoryError when running
a test case on a MapActivity.
Normally we'd consider it a normal memory problem (and we're still
also investigating that direction), however the same test case runs
perfectly fine on both emulators and devices, they only fail on
Jenkins.

One thing we already tried is to set vm.heapSize=512M, but with no
success.

Can anyone help with this?

Here is the stack trace, please let me know if I can support with more
information:

Have you tried copying a working AVD to the Jenkins agent to replicate whether it might be an AVD configuration issue?

Hi Michael,

thanks for the tip but it didn't solve the problem.
However we found out that this only happens when we set up a 2.3
emulator. As long as we keep it on 2.2 (API level 8) that doesn't
happen anymore and everything works just fine.
Maybe the 2.3 emulator requires too much memory for the machine we
have, not sure :)

Thanks,
g

Do you have the "Show emulator window" option disabled? I've seen
similar errors occurring when the emulator window was *not* shown.

For that reason, we run all our tests with the window showing, in an
Xvnc instance.

Regards,
Chris

Also to point out - are you using android-9 or android-10? Android-9 seems to be a limited set of devices, and I've seen some very weird emulator behavior with that specific API level. Skipping android-9 (2.3.1) and going to android-10 (2.3.3) resolved a number of problems with some of our emulator tests.

Regards,
Chris
