How to increase memory for application?

E/GraphicsJNI(305): VM won't let us allocate 5529600 bytes

I have this error and I'm trying apply

largeHeap="true"

but I'm getting an error:

error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'largeHeap' in package 'android'

My code:

After API level 13, you can add android:largeHeap:"true" if I am not mistaken — Spring Breaker, Sep 05 '13 at 11:03

Have you defined <application android:largeHeap="true" ...> as attribute of the application inside your manifest? At least, you should use Honeycomb for ths attribute.

Take a look at ths post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11275719/411951

i try define it like application and activity result the same – Denys Karpov Sep 05 '13 at 11:28
Which API level do you use? – 0xPixelfrost Sep 05 '13 at 11:41
i use min 7 and target version 8 – Denys Karpov Sep 05 '13 at 11:58
Far as i know you should use at least honeycomb (API Lvl 11) for the attribute largeHeap – 0xPixelfrost Sep 05 '13 at 12:04
Not really. The memory should be sufficient for normal tasks. For files like image there is a good tutorial about image caching inside the google docs. Why do you want to use the largeHeap attribute? The usual way is to improve the memory usage of your app so you should not need to enable this attribute – 0xPixelfrost Sep 05 '13 at 13:50
We need to know what you are doing inside your app that you have to enable the largeHeap. Without this information i can only refer to googles performance tips: http://developer.android.com/training/articles/perf-tips.html – 0xPixelfrost Sep 05 '13 at 14:55
so i public code of one of my activity , what help me decrease my heap? – Denys Karpov Sep 05 '13 at 15:13

In your manifest write this code in a application tag

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" 
 android:label="@string/app_name" 
 android:largeHeap="true">

the largeHeap attribute only appeared after API 11 or higher

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

use this codind in your manifest to set your target to API 19

I hope this help you
