App crashes when calling GetPixels on large image?

Hey there,
when loading large images (5000x5000 pixels), and calling GetPixels on them, it crashes on android. This is a minimal example..

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start()
2.     {
3.         var path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "test.png");
4.         byte[] fileData = File.ReadAllBytes(path);
5.         tex = new Texture2D(2, 2);
6.         tex.LoadImage(fileData); // auto-resize the texture dimensions.
7.     }
8.    
9.     void Update()
10.     {
11.         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
12.         {
13.             var colors = tex.GetPixels();
14.             Debug.Log(colors.Length);
15.         }
16.     }

After clicking four times on the screen, the app crashes. I know the images are large, but is that usual?
Furthermore, how can I catch the crash and notify the user that the image is to large? Maybe it has something to do with the device hardware, so but I don't know the limit for texture on phones. Also I would like to support at least 5000x5000 pixels if possible.

Here is a snippet of the logcat:

Help would be really apprechiated!

 

Try checking the max texture size on that device with this.

 

Thats a good ideas. The max texture size is 8192 so it should be ok. Also, calling GetPixels for the first time works without a problem. But after calling it a fourth time in a row, the app crashes. Maybe, the data is not garbage collected properly and the pixels are still stored after an update?

 

Sounds more like OOM(out of memory) issue.

 

Yes, would be nice to check the memory before it happes, but I don't know how. Any ideas?
