I put an application on Play Store and I received a Crash report that I'm having an hard time to reproduce.
It comes from a V858 (hwu8160) device running Android 2.2. The exception it raised is the following:

I setup an emulator running Android 2.2 but I cannot reproduce the issue. Do you have any suggestion about what I should to in order to find the cause of the error and fix it?
This is what I have in the activity layout file at line 10:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/match_timer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:text="#string/default_time"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textSize="#dimen/bigClockFontSize"
android:singleLine="true" />
It seems that for some reason the device is not loading the #dimen/bigClockFontSize value.
I managed to trigger the error in the emulator by removing the value from res/values/dimens.xml.
The device presenting the error is using the italian locale and the device has a small screen.
I have the following resources files:
values/dimens.xml
values/strings.xml
values/styles.xml
values-it/strings.xml
values-normal-hdpi/dimens.xml
values-normal-xxhdpi/dimens.xml
I assume that the device should resolve the values/dimes.xml file. Does it do that?
Try these links:
Android View inflateException
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #30: Error inflating class <unknown>
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #12: Error inflating class <unknown>
Hope you find your answer from here.

The error doesn't happen in the newer devices with an updated Os.
Please help me resolve the issue or point me in the right direction.
Based on the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget message in the stack trace, it appears that one of the images in the view being opened in your onCreate() is too large.
Here's a page with some guidance. The main idea is to load a scaled down version of the image. I've found it best to also scale down (resolution, color-depth, etc.) the actual image file to maximize loading speed.
I used the SlidingMenu library in my application, according to https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/tree/master/SlidingMenu. I build and run application successfully on the android 4.0+, but I failed run application on the android 2.2, but I saw the android sliding menu https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu, it supports from android 2.1.
This is error code:

Forget me that I can't copy whole log, since the logs on the another machine can't connect to network. I analyse this log, it crashed at SldingMenuActivity onCreate method, it failed to create the listview for the behind view on the activity, but it can work on the android 4.0+, it's too strange.
The problem I found: my listview can't infalte on android 2.2, even my layout is so simple below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/Home_MenuList"
/>
</LinearLayout>
If you take a look at the Caused by section in your Stack Trace it tells you:
Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/drawable/common_background.png from drawable resource ID #0x7f020081: .xml extension required
There is something wrong with that resource, are any of the ListViewItems using this Resource Drawable?
I added the admob adview from xml like this;
<com.google.ads.AdView
android:id="#+id/adView"
android:layout_above="#id/footerContainer"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
ads:adSize="BANNER"
ads:adUnitId="..."
ads:loadAdOnCreate="true"
ads:testDevices="TEST_EMULATOR" />
First; there seems to be no problem. But when i change the orientation of the screen a couple of times quickly; the app crashed. I have these errors;

I tried adding it programmatically as described here, but nothing changed... Any ideas?
For 1, what SDK version are you using, and what device are you running it on? This may be an emulator specific issue.
2 and 3 are likely due to not linking the AdMob library correctly. See Error inflating class com.google.ads.AdView.
i got following strange exception on only andorid simulator 2.0

Please help.

Android cannot allocate the memory for the Button. Pre-Honeycomb allocates the memory for a bitmap natively, outside the Dalvik VM, using malloc and has to rely on Java finalizers to free that memory again. Unless you call Bitmap.recycle that is.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CruQY55HOk&feature=player_detailpage#t=650s for some info on allocation of Bitmaps.
So you have to figure out why external allocation is so high in your app. Maybe AdMob is the cause. Make sure to invoke AdView.destroy in your activity's onDestroy.
