Layout causes app-crash

Question

i have a problem that makes my application crushes on start.
i believe my problem causes from

 setContentView(R.layout.activity_project_main);

in the activity , yet i couldn't solve it. Maybe misuse of a context somewhere?

here is the log file

Answer 1

In you error log, find this line

05-09 11:16:55.420: E/AndroidRuntime(1506): Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget

the problem is image size is quite large. try using jpg or png instead of bitmap
