android - galaxy s4 and maybe all HD phones? out of memory error inflating layout -

so app working on, works fine on old miserable android 2.3.3 phone. when running on gs4, gs4 throwing out of memory exceptions every time has load resource drawables, predefined in xml.

<imageview         android:id="@+id/ivlearnmore"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="200dp"         android:layout_weight="1"         android:scaletype="fitcenter"         android:src="@drawable/learn_more" /> 

for example imageview throw exception when inflating layout because has image assigned. (256x256)

what going on?

(@arash's answer provides workaround, attempt explain why may work.)

so have rather big image in drawable resource directory, reference in layout xml file, , out of memory error @ runtime when inflating it.

when loading drawable resources, android perform pre-scaling if deems necessary. official documentation:

based on density of current screen, system uses size- or density-specific resources application , displays them without scaling. if resources not available in correct density, system loads default resources , scales them or down needed match current screen's density. system assumes default resources (those directory without configuration qualifiers) designed baseline screen density (mdpi), unless loaded density-specific resource directory.

this means 2 things:

1. if there's no resource of density of environment application running on, system take resource of density , scale (up or down) match target density
2. resources put in drawable directory assumed targeting mdpi density

so you're running on xxhdpi phone. system wants load learn_more drawable resource paint on ivlearnmore widget. in drawable-xxhdpi in priority won't find there, take closest 1 finds, in case 1 in drawable directory (which assumes targeting mdpi density), , load memory scaling by factor of 3 lot if image file big , can require more memory available application (and cause out of memory error).

this why loaded fine on old crappy 2.3 device: device of mdpi or hdpi density , system didn't try upscale or did factor of 1.5.

the main thing here being put resource suitable xxhdpi (or more ?) density in mdpi directory.

so have several options:

1. provide 1 resource appropriately sized per density (i.e. 1 in each drawable-* directory): best avoid problem, when possible
2. if have 1 version of resource, put in directory matching density (drawable being equivalent drawable-mdpi!), in case maybe drawable-xxhdpi (depends on resource)
3. put resource in drawable-nodpi directory, prevent system performing pre-scaling of resource (but typically density-agnostic resources e.g. resize @ runtime)
