App crashes on adding image view

Question

My app works finely with 11 image views. But upon adding 1 more image view to it, app crashes. I found some similar answers to this problem in stack overflow itself, but couldn't find my exact solution.

Main Activity:

    package com.trendsetter.vyshnav.eatutor;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;


    public class BreakfastActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_breakfast);
}

    }

XML file:

    <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Try adding `android:largeHeap="true"` in `Application` element of `Manifest` — Shree Krishna, Mar 18 '16 at 05:58
Plus, I'm not sure what you are trying to do with your Scrollview, but it appears a ListView or RecyclerView would be the appropriate layout to use — OneCricketeer, Mar 18 '16 at 05:59

@cricket_007: isn't scroll view more suitable for this since its a simple app. — vvv, Mar 18 '16 at 06:01
No, it isn't more suitable because all views are loaded in memory at once — OneCricketeer, Mar 18 '16 at 06:03
guys, i have mentioned in my question that I have found similar answers (Duplicate stackoverflow.com/questions/32244851/). The problem is I am unable to apply it. I get confused. — vvv, Mar 18 '16 at 06:05
@cricket_007: what problem will occur if all views load into memory a once? — vvv, Mar 18 '16 at 06:06
Your current problem is more likely to occur... OutOfMemoryError — OneCricketeer, Mar 18 '16 at 06:07
@IntelliJAmiya: Can u please post the full code if possible? — vvv, Mar 18 '16 at 06:10
I can't provide code because I don't know what you're trying to achieve and I don't have your images. — OneCricketeer, Mar 18 '16 at 06:14

Adding AndroidManifest.xml file and solve issue:

<application
             ....
             ....
             android:largeHeap="true"

 </application>

your image size is large above 2MB or high – Prakash Gajera Mar 18 '16 at 06:02

Your Scrollview seems to be a collection of multiple sets of 3 TextViews plus an ImageView.

I suggest defining a custom Object with 3 String values and an int value that will hold the R.drawable integer value for an image.

Then, you can define a custom XML row a single object. And "bind" each object to the Views via a ListView + ArrayAdapter or RecyclerView.

In order to fix the out of memory error, you should use an image loading library like Picasso or Glide to load the integer resource id mentioned earlier into the ImageView rather than load the full, raw image into memory.

It is happening because your image size is larger than 2Mb so try to compress the image in your baseAdapter: yo can follow this link to compress the image : How to compress image size?
