Android Canvas drawing too large bitmap

I m running Ubuntu 16 04  And on Android Studio when I try to run my application in the emulator I get the following error      FATAL EXCEPTION  main                     Process  project name here  PID  2528                     java lang RuntimeException  Canvas  trying to draw too large 216090000bytes  bitmap                          at android view DisplayListCanvas throwIfCannotDraw DisplayListCanvas java 260                          at android graphics Canvas drawBitmap Canvas java 1415                          at android graphics drawable BitmapDrawable draw BitmapDrawable java 528                          at android widget ImageView onDraw ImageView java 1316                          at android view View draw View java 17185                          at android view View updateDisplayListIfDirty View java 16167                          at android view View draw View java 16951                          at android view ViewGroup drawChild ViewGroup java 3727                          at android view ViewGroup dispatchDraw ViewGroup java 3513                          at android view View updateDisplayListIfDirty View java 16162                          at android view View draw View java 16951                          at android view ViewGroup drawChild ViewGroup java 3727                          at android view ViewGroup dispatchDraw ViewGroup java 3513  at   etc      I did have to run through some hoops to get my emulator working however  needed to create a sym-link so I can run the emulator on AMD  Not sure if this is part of the problem  And for the life of me I cannot figure why it continues to do this  In my group there are others who emulate the project just fine on the same emulated phone and SDK

I had the same problem  If you try to upload an image that is too large on some low resolution devices  the app will collapse  You can make several images of different sizes  hdpi  xxdpi and more  or simply use an external library to load images that solve the problem quickly and efficiently  I used Glide library  you can use another library like Picasso        panel IMG back    ImageView  findViewById R id panel IMG back       Glide              with this               load MyViewUtils getImage R drawable wallpaper               into panel IMG back

if you use Picasso change to Glide like this   Remove picasso  Picasso get   load Uri parse  url    into imageView    Change Glide  Glide with context  load  url   into imageView    More efficient Glide than Picasso draw to large bitmap

For this error was like others said a big image 1800px X 900px  which was in drawable directory  I edited the image and reduced the size proportionally using photoshop and it worked

This solution worked for me  Add these lines in your Manifest application tag android largeHeap  quot true quot  android hardwareAccelerated  quot false quot

The solution is to move the image from drawable  folder to drawable-xxhdpi  folder  as also others have mentioned   But it is important to also understand why this somewhat weird suggestion actually helps   The reason is that the drawable  folder exists from early versions of android and is equivalent to drawable-mdpi  When an image that is only in drawable  folder is used on xxhdpi device  the potentially already big image is upscaled by a factor of 3  which can then in some cases cause the image s memory footprint to explode

I also had this issue when i was trying to add a splash screen to the android app through the launch backgrgound xml   the issue was the resolution  it was too high so the images memory footprint exploded and caused the app to crash hence the reason for this error  so just resize your image using a site called nativescript image builder so i got the ldpi mdpi and all the rest and it worked fine for me

Turns out the problem was the main image that we used on our app at the time  The actual size of the image was too large  so we compressed it  Then it worked like a charm  no loss in quality and the app ran fine on the emulator

This can be an issue with Glide  Use this while you are trying to load to many images and some of them are very large   Glide load  your image path                           transform                                 new MultiTransformation lt  gt                                          new CenterCrop                                           new RoundedCorners                                                 holder imgCompanyLogo getResources                                                           getDimensionPixelSize R dimen  2sdp                                                                                                                             error R drawable ic nfs default                          into holder imgCompanyLogo

If you don t want your image to be pre-scaled you can move it to the res drawable-nodpi  folder  More info  https   developer android com training multiscreen screendensities DensityConsiderations

I just created directory drawable-xhdpi You can change it according to your need  and copy pasted all the images to that directory

Try using an xml or a vector asset instead of a jpg or png  The reason is quite obvious in the exception name itself i e  the resolution of the resource is too large to render  You can png to xml using online tools like https   svg2vector com  OR add your image to drawable-xxhdpi folder

User · Answer

Move your image in the  hi-res  drawable to drawable-xxhdpi  But in app development  you do not need to use large image  It will increase your APK file size

In my case I had to remove the android platform and add it again  Something got stuck and copying all my code into another app worked like a charm - hence my idea of cleaning up the build for android by removing the platform   cordova platform remove android cordova platform add android   I guess it s some kind of cleanup that you have to do from time to time  -
