    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_bus);
    b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.nextbutton);
    btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
    t = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_View);
    Typeface newfont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),"fonts/MarkerFelt.ttf");
    t.setTypeface(newfont);
    ImageView movingbus = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.busImageView);
    movingbus.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.movingbus);
    schoolBus = (AnimationDrawable) movingbus.getBackground();

    schoolBus.start();




    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(BusActivity.this, R.raw.bushorn);
            mp.start();
        }

Answer 1

Looking at your log allocation failed for scaled bitmap.

Issue could be with the images your using. Try to change the image.

This crash might be happening due to out of memory in random scenario.
