This OOME exception is occurring because of bitmaps.

Are you calling bitmap.recycle() method after using bitmap? You should always call this method as it will free up the resources held by the bitmap.

This error occurs because of memory leak in your code. You need to find it. You can use MAT (plugin) for eclipse software to find the memory leak.

For detailed info, please see my answer on the same.

If this doesn't solve the problem, please let me know, we'll find some other solution.

Thank you :)

we are not using too much bitmap that cause bitmap size exceeds VM budget – bindal Jul 04 '12 at 06:02
we are testing our app in motorolla milestone 2.1 – bindal Jul 04 '12 at 06:03
if you are not using too many bitmaps, then the size of bitmaps might be large. – Shrikant Ballal Jul 04 '12 at 06:16
total size of bitmap in my app is just 1.5 mb is there a problem with that? – bindal Jul 04 '12 at 06:19
this is certainly occurring due to memory leak, as you have said that navigating 4 to 5 times, occurs this error. – Shrikant Ballal Jul 04 '12 at 06:21
yes its a memory leak i dont find a way to solve this , i am trying to solve this issue for last 2 days – bindal Jul 04 '12 at 06:23
Even I was stuck once while finding a memory leak, MAT for eclipse solved it straight away. Try this plugin, it will surely solve your problem. – Shrikant Ballal Jul 04 '12 at 06:26
i have downloaded it but how to use it ,it does not show me any log – bindal Jul 04 '12 at 06:28
follow the steps from http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2011/03/memory-analysis-for-android.html – Shrikant Ballal Jul 04 '12 at 06:29

First look into this exception Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class <unknown> you have an error in one of your layout .XML

I doubt it is recreating of the activity. If you watch carefully when you change your language, The current activity died and Android re-create a new Activity with new Language. It is similar to changing screen orientation, so it will be ok if you manage your memory usage. Make sure you don't have memory leak, by doing the following. There is a youtube video

make sure your activity is thread safe
when first activity died, check if the resource are dealloc properly

I have used tabhost with activitygroup is there problem with that? – bindal Jul 04 '12 at 06:27
Try to conserve memory usage and prevent memory leak. you can try to transfer your heavy object via onsaveinstancestate(). – NyanLH Jul 04 '12 at 06:32

You may be using large bitmaps as backgrounds. The Out of memory exception occurs during layout inflation. Use smaller bitmaps if possible.
