Android App Crashes When I add ImageView

Question

I'm learning Android and I made a simple code and Tested it on my SONY Xperia Z Ultra with Android 5.0 for unknown reason the app Stop right after i launch it and I don't know why !

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.example.husseinalbehary.alpha.MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/first"
        android:text="League"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/second"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/first"
        android:text=" Songs"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <ImageView
        android:src="@drawable/warsong"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>

I'm Really sorry if this is a silly question but I think my code Is just fine.

NOTES :

The built in preview in Android Studio shows the app successfully. And Yes I tested other codes on my phone and they worked.
My App seems to be working fine when I delete the ImageView code.

Here is the Logcat if it helps :

Thanks.

Why don't you add `android:largeHeap="true"` in `manifest.xml` inside ` — Shree Krishna, Mar 27 '16 at 16:47
@PPartisan you are Right, Thanks :D You can add that as an answer :) — Hussein Reda AlBehary, Mar 27 '16 at 16:50
read the manual, after this you will know how to do display images correctly http://developer.android.com/intl/es/training/displaying-bitmaps/index.html — manolodewiner, Mar 27 '16 at 17:39

It happen because your image too large and you get outOfMemory Error. you must use smaller image. see this link.

you can remove src from your xml and do it by code. maybe this code help you:

private void setScaledImage(ImageView imageView, final int resId) {
    final ImageView iv = imageView;
    ViewTreeObserver viewTreeObserver = iv.getViewTreeObserver();
    viewTreeObserver.addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
        public boolean onPreDraw() {
            iv.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnPreDrawListener(this);
            int imageViewHeight = iv.getMeasuredHeight();
            int imageViewWidth = iv.getMeasuredWidth();
            iv.setImageBitmap(
                    decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(getResources(),
                            resId, imageViewWidth, imageViewHeight));
            return true;
        }
    });
}

private static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(Resources res, int resId,
                                                     int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

    // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds = true to check dimensions
    final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);

    // Calculate inSampleSize
    options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);

    // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);
}

private static int calculateInSampleSize(
        BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

    // Raw height and width of image
    final int height = options.outHeight;
    final int width = options.outWidth;
    int inSampleSize = 1;

    if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {

        final int halfHeight = height / 2;
        final int halfWidth = width / 2;

        // Calculate the largest inSampleSize value that is a power of 2 and keeps both
        // height and width larger than the requested height and width.
        while ((halfHeight / inSampleSize) > reqHeight
                && (halfWidth / inSampleSize) > reqWidth) {
            inSampleSize *= 2;
        }
    }

    return inSampleSize;
}
