Okay, so in my app I have multiple ImageViews each holding an .png icon. right now there are 7... And yet my app, at random intervals, will crash with a anr dialog (App Not Responding) and it then throws this exception:

Does anyone have an idea? I'm pretty stumped and annoyed! Thanks!

Answer 1

Just as the error states, you're running out of memory. This is most likely due to the size of the image and how its being loaded. A lot of libs have been created to solve these issues.

Try using some image loading libraries like one of the ones below. Most likely you'll be able to solve your issue using one of these battle tested libs.

• Picasso
• Ion
• Universal Image Loader

• Joshua King: My images were simple too large! I scaled them down and they're now fine! Thanks!!
