Whenever I run my app on large screen device or emulator, I get this weired exception. Going through the stack, when I check line no. 29 in XML, it was android:layout_height for textView. The line no. of activity, on which app crashed was setContentView(). The OutOfMemoryError points that there is problem with my drawables. So, I resized my drawables, but nothing helped me. Can't find out what is actual cause of crash.

My Java file. Sorry couldn't post it here as it exceeded body limit, I tailored it as it had around 5k lines of code.

Ok, when I increased heap size to 48 MB app didn't crashed,but with 16 MB heap, it is still crashing.

it would be better if u change the size of images you using. may be that sizes not capable for that device you using.

Your XML error is only the result of the main error : OutOfMemoryError

As long as you don't have find the clue to improve your memory management, you'll have theses kind of errors (XML or other)

Your XML is correct, there is no error in it, the line 29 is the "point" where your application were when the OutOfMemoryError occured

Android: InflateException: Binary XML file line : Error inflating class <unknown>
