#drawable in the xml file cause the app to crash

#drawable in the xml file cause the app to crash - android

I am trying to add a background image to the activity by android:background=#drawable/.. as shown in the code below. But the problem is, when i add this line android:background="#drawable/introbackground" the app crashs, and when i delete it the app works normally.
To note: the image i use, i have resized it so that, it fits the entire screen. is this could be the problem?

Out of memory on a 121925780-byte allocation.
You app ran out of memory.
To note: the image i use, i have resized it so that, it fits the
entire screen. is this could be the problem?
Yes the likely cause is this background image which needs to be scaled down. Each app is allocated a certain heap size. As of android 3.0 and above bitmap pixel data is stored in the heap. You need to scale down the image.
Out of Memory error with Bitmap
Also read Load a Scaled Down Version into Memory
http://developer.android.com/training/displaying-bitmaps/load-bitmap.html

You are getting OOM i.e out of memory and also the inflator exception at
android:background="#drawable/introbackground"
because the image introbackground is of very large size.
Solution
Use a .jpeg light weight image insted of using .png heavy image.

Here, you are getting 3 Exceptions:
android.view.InflateException
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
The problem starts to occurring from OutOfMemoryError Exception. The drawable, you are trying to set in the ImageView with the id imageview2, may be too large. So, when system trying to process that drawable it exceeds memory limit...then OutOfMemoryError Exception occurring.
Since, due to the OutOfMemoryError, system can't set that drawable to tha ImageView then its throwing other Exceptions as InvocationTargetException and InflateException.
Now, try to reduce the drawable's size...may be your problem will be solved.

This is the line of code called from within onActivityResult:
Toast.makeText(this, R.string.save_success, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Anyone know why a Toast might cause an ANR, or what might really be wrong if I'm misreading this? Thanks!

Instead of using direct call to R.string, you should use getResources() and then like below
String strSuccess = getString(R.string.save_success);
Toast.makeText(this, strSuccess, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
or
Toast.makeText(this, getString(R.string.save_success),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 27830 (ple.myfragexample) -- only on Android 4.1.2

I am using FragmentActivity in my application with several Fragments. Each of these fragments hold an image and some text with animation. When user swipes on the screen, the fragment changes.
Now I have been working on this since 10 days and have tested the FragmentActivity on different devices with different Android versions. The reason that I am stuck on this from last 10 days is I am getting a crash
Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0x00000000 (code=1), thread 27830 (ple.myfragexample)
Now, this error occurs only when I test the FragmentActivity on Android 4.1.2 particularly. It would run fine on Android 2.3.3, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.2 and even 2.2. The error log is as below:

I have searched a lot over the internet and tried many thing about this, however, the working of my Fragments got smoother on devices with any other version of Android, but just on Android 4.1.2. I also tried to use Universal Image Loader, but it still crashes with Fatal signal 11. The error log I get when I am using Universal Image Loader is as below:

Now, I know there are lots of questions with Fatal signal 11 on here too, but I am concerned and confused as I am getting this crash only on Android 4.1.2 and not on any other Android versions.

My issue is solved now. I just got my images re-sized from my Graphics team. Previously I was using 1280x768 resolution images but I got them scaled down to 800x480 and the crash is gone. Thanks for all the suggestions though.
Also, I think Jelly Bean (4.x) has enhanced UI and so, it occupies more memory for handling the UI itself than the lower versions of Android, and that's why it was not able to manage handling(scaling down) the larger images.

Have a look at my question:
Strange crash drawing on canvas on Android 4.0.3. A/libc: Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
maybe it's the same problem. The issue arises when I try to use a small number for stroke or others Paint properties.
setStrokeWidth(0.007f);
Never solved, I suggest to scale the Canvas and use bigger numbers.

Thanking in Advance.

Check the Managing Bitmap Memory article from developers site.
For API<=10:
On Android 2.3.3 (API level 10) and lower, using recycle() is recommended. If you're displaying large amounts of bitmap data in your app, you're likely to run into OutOfMemoryError errors. The recycle() method allows an app to reclaim memory as soon as possible.
Caution: You should use recycle() only when you are sure that the bitmap is no longer being used. If you call recycle() and later attempt to draw the bitmap, you will get the error: "Canvas: trying to use a recycled bitmap".
The following code snippet gives an example of calling recycle(). It uses reference counting (in the variables mDisplayRefCount and mCacheRefCount) to track whether a bitmap is currently being displayed or in the cache. The code recycles the bitmap when these conditions are met:
The reference count for both mDisplayRefCount and mCacheRefCount is 0.
The bitmap is not null, and it hasn't been recycled yet.
For API>=11:
Android 3.0 (API Level 11) introduces the BitmapFactory.Options.inBitmap field. If this option is set, decode methods that take the Options object will attempt to reuse an existing bitmap when loading content. This means that the bitmap's memory is reused, resulting in improved performance, and removing both memory allocation and de-allocation.

#drawable in the xml file cause the app to crash - android

You are getting OOM i.e out of memory and also the inflator exception at android:background="#drawable/introbackground" because the image introbackground is of very large size. Solution Use a .jpeg light weight image insted of using .png heavy image.
