How to resolve a stack trace error

I have an Android app which has a minimum SDK at 2.1 and I am getting the following stack trace in the developer console:

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'm getting an ANR that seems to be from Toast.makeText:

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();

Intel HAXM and Out Of Memory error when running Android application

We experience Out Of Memory Error when running our application on Intel HAXM emulator. At the same time application is stable when we run it in usual android ARM Emulator. The error log is:

12-03 12:13:20.318: WARN/ActivityManager(851): Force finishing activity coza.sintez.xplat/.activity.fields.NumberFieldActivity
All activities are optimized and do not use large bitmaps. DDMS memory profiler do not show any memory leaks as well.
Also we noticed that if we run application at the first time, it can perform some task(for example navigate to some activity). But if we completely re-install application and run again, it fails doing the same task. Seems like Intel Emulator is not freeing up memory correctly. Has anybody experienced the same?

Don't be surprised by having Out of memory error in AVD and not with the other.
Each AVD has his own configuration for maximum Heap memory, and the reason why you are hitting it with Intel emulator is just that the default maximum heap memory made available for your app is smaller than the one provided by ARM emulator.
You can check the heap memory available to your app using:
Log.d(TAG,"Heap size: " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
Although you can control the heap size in the emulator and make it run in both, you can't do it for the user device.
So, if you are trageting devices with smaller heap size, you need to review your code and ensure that it fits in that amount of memory. Otherwise, you can specify the minimum amount of heap required for your application in AndroidManifest.xml and it will only shows suitable devices.
Regards.

clearly bitmap size exceed VM budget
and when you second time run your app still bitmap factory hold that image in factory which is actually in VM budget.
remove bitmap onDestroy Activity

In your code error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Bitmap Size Exceeds VM Budget is appeared
check this thread for more solution.

out of memory exception [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.
Closed 10 years ago.
I am getting this exception every now and then and its quite bugging me up.In my app we just scan a barcode and it sends the data from barcode to server.I have tried many things to clean memory and to avoid memory leaks but nothing seems to work .Any help will be appriciated.

use this code this might be helpful or let me know i have other solutions even

Your bitmaps are too big, or you are loading too many at once.

How do you understand the cause of exception having stacktrace?

We have written an Android application which sends stack traces to our server, if any occur. Sometimes we get weird stack traces that seem not to be an exception from our application. For example:
java.lang.NullPointerException

There is no mention of our own classes, only Android's standard classes. It's obvious that this exception takes place when scrolling of item list (ListView) occurs, but I can't even uderstand how I can fix this bug. I can't reproduce this bug. What do you usually do when you encounter the same problem? Any ideas?

Tehere is something wrong with fast scrolling of some ListView using a thumb. If you set fast scrolling enabled of your ListView make sure the adapter class implements SectionIndexer.
