Getting ArithmeticException: divide by zero, but I'm not dividing by zero anywhere

Basically, I’m reading images from user’s storage for processing, and while reading images, I’m calculating inSampleSize for saving some memory, here’s my code:

fun calculateInSampleSize(
    options: BitmapFactory.Options,
    reqWidth: Int,
    reqHeight: Int
): Int {
    // Raw height and width of image
    val (height: Int, width: Int) = options.run { outHeight to outWidth }
    var inSampleSize = 1
    if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
        val halfHeight: Int = height / 2
        val halfWidth: Int = width / 2
        // Calculate the largest inSampleSize value that is a power of 2 and keeps both
        // height and width larger than the requested height and width.
        while (halfHeight / inSampleSize >= reqHeight && halfWidth / inSampleSize >= reqWidth) {
            inSampleSize *= 2
        }
    }
    return inSampleSize
}

But, I’m getting ArithmeticException: Divide by zero inside while loop condition:

halfHeight / inSampleSize >= reqHeight && halfWidth / inSampleSize >= reqWidth

I don’t think inSampleSize will ever be zero since it’s starting from 1 and multiplied by 2 in each iteration. Can anyone help me what’s going on here?

It’s only crashing for some users (got around 13 crashes till now) and I’m not able to reproduce it.

Edit, added crash log:

That’s where you’re wrong I think. You can definitely get zero by multiplying by 2 enough times if you make your integer overflow:

var inSampleSize = 1
while (inSampleSize != 0) {
    println("inSampleSize = $inSampleSize")
    inSampleSize *= 2
}
println("inSampleSize is 0 now!")

inSampleSize = 1
inSampleSize = 2
