Strange effect, Unable to start Activity

Question

Why strange? While the custom made application was tested on both a HTC One and HTC One X, they both preformed well and only had problem with the memory (HTC One X). But when I test this application on a Samsung Galaxy S, it loads everything, even the second menu but not further... Anyone a idea? Java fIle:

public class WallPaperTwoA extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

ImageView display;
int toPhone; 

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

    setContentView(R.layout.wallpapertwoa);

    toPhone = R.drawable.art;

    display = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.IVdisplay); 
    ImageView image1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.IVimage1);

I think this line: Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError is quite suspicious. Having in mind that HTC One X has 1GB RAM, HTC One 2GB RAM and Galaxys S only 0,5 GB RAM, I'd assume your app allocates to much RAM? Might this be possible? — Benjamin Kalloch, Apr 30 '14 at 19:59
You're getting an `OutOfMemoryError` caused by attempting to inflate whatever is at line 119 of your layout file. — Squonk, Apr 30 '14 at 20:00
Posted the wallpapertwoa layout. Squonk I don't see the OutOfMemoryError — RaWolfe, Apr 30 '14 at 20:02
@RaWolfe : Look at this line towards the end of the logcat you posted... `04-30 21:27:13.624: E/AndroidRuntime(21641): Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError` — Squonk, Apr 30 '14 at 20:05

Samsung Galaxy S is an old device (was made 4 years ago) with only 512 MB of RAM available, while HTC One X/One are much newer phones with 1GB/2GB of RAM available. So your problem is that you are trying to load 21 images simultaneosly (they are hardcoded at your XML), that is why you get OutOfMemoryError. Will they indeed be displayed all together? I suggest you to set images for ImageViews programmatically, when they are really needed - lazy-loading. And you can get an advantage by using image loading libraries like Picasso

Yes they will be displayed together, but smaller format (slide bar to choose the image) – RaWolfe Apr 30 '14 at 20:04
@RaWolfe you are using ScrollView, so probably they won't be all at once on the same screen - you have to scroll. You don't need to load images for `ImageViews`, that out of the current screen. – nikis Apr 30 '14 at 20:06
ow I was under the presumption that it does load, but off screen. How can I prevent this? – RaWolfe Apr 30 '14 at 20:09
@RaWolfe it's not so easy to explain shortly. You can start with implementing scroll listener, take a look here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3948934/synchronise-scrollview-scroll-positions-android Scroll Event happened -> you get coordinates. By looking at them you can say if it's time for `ImageView` to load image or not – nikis Apr 30 '14 at 20:17
