what you are getting is OutOfMemorException and that means 

The exception that is thrown when there is not enough memory to continue the execution of a program.

on possible way can be break your file in to small pieces

or what you can do is to check the avaliable memory before you load the file

So the most efficient way to handle OutOfMemoryException is to architecture your application in such a way that it never attempts to load lots of data into memory in order to avoid the exception.

  • Thanks for your advice guys, im using buzztouch for code, the app is looking for the config file when it refreshes, which is quite large (4mb) as the app has over 5000 screens, everything works great in the ios version, but the android one crashes on refresh, not all devices, just certain ones, i don't think there's any way of reducing the config file, how do i check the available memory and how do i change the amount of data into memory, remember im a newbie at this, so an idiots guide if poss guys :) – Sean Sullivan Jan 26 '15 at 10:44
