Is there a limit to add images in a single android activity?

Question

Well I have an activity where I use a grid view to show images statically. The thing is that when I add more than 3 images i.e. when i add the 4th image and run the activity the "app unexpectedly stops" and following error comes up.

Android monitor

size of your image is way high... try to reduce it ad try again.. i'm sure it will work. — V-rund Puro-hit, Apr 16 '16 at 07:53
no there is no limit to add images in activity.Your are getting the out of memory exception because your image size is too large,reduce it and try again. — sumit singh, Apr 16 '16 at 07:55
It is working...but i want to ask...is the memory allocation divided with respect to each cell of the gridview? — Abhishek Panhale, Apr 16 '16 at 08:08

That's the classic OOM problem. It has nothing to do with android activity. For short you can do following the steps as the android training guide

And I recommend you to see this discuss for more detail. :)
