Out of memory error

Try hours.toString() when you build a string.
Maybe the type of hours is a number or something that does not get cast implicitly.

When you run in the simulator, what does it say memory is on the bottom line? With the 2.1.x SDK, you'll see current/max, and peak.

If peak is getting close to max, adding a few Sys.println() calls can give you an out of memory error.

Try hours.toString()

This didn't work :(

Where ? I run in the simulator, but it says nothing :

I remove all, and I still have them.

I add some
System.println("before return "+System.getSystemStats().usedMemory);
to see my memory, but it didn't talk to me ...

Do we have a way to manage it ? Free some objects ? I try to put myArray = null; sometimes, but it didn't change neither.

but this didn't change

When you run the simulator, the bottom line in the simulator window shows the memory usage of your app.

What are the numbers you see there?

This didn't work :(

Yeah sorry, I misunderstood your post. From Jim's reply to your post I concluded that the println gives you out of memory, not that there is a specific error about wrong type by the println statement that you posted.

Here's where you can watch the memory and see what's happening:




Or do you get the "out of memory" before your app even starts? In that case, comment out some code until it can start.

Playing with the code I found out that although there is a garbage collector indeed since memory is actually freed after around a couple of seconds, but sometimes it's not fast enough, especially if you wait for memory-hungry structures like dictionaries to release their memory. But there is a trick: if you use statements like "<structure>= null" explicitly, then memory is cleared almost instantly. E.g. if you have some temporary dictionaries or arrays, then do not forget to assign them to null to make sure memory is released right away. At least that's how it works in simulator.

OK,
thanks, I try this, but it didn't solve my issue.
I found it very weird, because my "trick" when sending new properties through "App Settings Editor" didn't work anymore . But if I build my app and put it in my watch, this work.
Now, in the simulator the app crash in the launching.
This is not possible to increase the 16kb of the simulator ?
Because, this is painful those kind of error without a lot of informations for debuggind ...

Different devices have different attributes. The amount of memory that is reserved for ConnectIQ is not something you can change; you just have to write code with it in mind.
