Unknown class exception when inflating a dialog fragment in android

Question

I am trying to create a dialog fragment. However when trying to show the fragment, I get a force close error with the stack trace hinting at an error when inflating the xml files. Here is my xml resource file.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="@color/white"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:scaleType="center">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
            android:text="Share on"
            android:textColor="@color/dark_grey"
            android:textSize="20sp"
            android:textStyle="bold"
            android:typeface="sans" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <View
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="1dp"
        android:background="#24092A" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="80dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="5dp">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:id="@+id/share_dialog_facebook"
            android:src="@drawable/facebook_circle_icon_blue" />

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:id="@+id/share_dialog_twitter"
            android:src="@drawable/twitter_circle_icon_blue" />

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:id="@+id/share_dialog_googleplus"
            android:src="@drawable/google_plus_icon" />

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

And the stack trace content:

What could be causing this problem? I don't have a clue. Thanks in advance.

this is java.lang.OutOfMemoryError on bitmap just scale your bitmap image — akash yadav, Oct 13 '14 at 07:41

On line 27 of your ShareDialog class you are trying to load a bitmap which is causing an OutOfMemory error. Resize the image and you should be good to go.

even after resizing the images, I am still getting the same error. – mungaih pk Oct 13 '14 at 08:09
Note sure why I was down voted... the error is clearly in the stack trace. – soundsofpolaris Oct 13 '14 at 16:34
Are you using Eclipse? If so, be sure to clean and hit F5 on the project to ensure the new asset was updated. – soundsofpolaris Oct 13 '14 at 16:35
