JSON Out of Memory error

Question

The application I made worked fine on my phone. When I launched it on the Google Play Store as a alpha version, i've had some reports/crashes of an Out of Memory error.

The code where is goes wrong:

public void getLessons(){

    APIClient.get(url, new JsonHttpResponseHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, JSONObject object) {

                    mLessons = new ArrayList<>();
                    for (int Index = 0; Index < jsonLesson.length(); Index++) {

                        try {
                            JSONObject jsonLes = jsonLesson.getJSONObject(Index);
                            Lesson lesson = new Lesson();

            }
            setButtonLessons();

    layout.addView(tr);

            button.setOnClickListener(this);
            button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.buttonsoranje);
            TableRow.LayoutParams paramsRow = new TableRow.LayoutParams(

            paramsRow.column = columnCounter % LESSON_ROW_COUNT;
            params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL;

            tr.addView(button);

            buttonIdCounter++;
            columnCounter = (columnCounter + 1) % LESSON_ROW_COUNT;
        }
    }

}

</LinearLayout>

When I debug I noticed that the setButtonLessons has the full 101 json list, this probably causes the OOM crash. Is there a way that I can load this arraylist in blocks of mayby 10 instead of the entire json array (which is 101 atm but will get bigger).

After removing the button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.buttonsoranje); by adding "//" infront of it, i updated the app and asked a friend to test is. He came with the following error:

101 jsonobjects do not cause this kind of error. Show us full stacktrace. Actually your error lies in setButtonLessons() so post it's code — Ricardo, Apr 29 '16 at 11:22
Could you make something out of the updated version? This is the complete code. — Jaxhead, Apr 29 '16 at 11:46
reason of OOM is android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2:, pleas add xml file too — USKMobility, Apr 29 '16 at 11:49
Its quite the opposite, the OOM causes the layout not to be able to be inflated correctly. — Fustigador, Apr 29 '16 at 11:55

This kind of error is due to drawble ressources so the problem is the following line :

button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.buttonsoranje);

I red on [another post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14096061/android-setbackgroundresource-cause-out-of-memory-excepiton) that the solution would be adding the icons in an other drawable folder, the drawable-nodpi. This would case them not to be able to resize, but they aren't resized anyhow. Can i just create this folder myself? Reason i ask is, i cannot test this OOM error since it's not acccuring on my phone. – Jaxhead Apr 29 '16 at 12:19
yeah you can create it – TooCool Apr 29 '16 at 12:23
i tried removing the button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.buttonsoranje); and updated the app. I posted a new error in the thread. Seems like the same problem – Jaxhead Apr 29 '16 at 13:15
Well anyhow: the images you try to use are to big. – greenapps Apr 29 '16 at 13:31
But when i remove them, they aren't using the drawable buttons, just regular buttons, and it still crashes? – Jaxhead Apr 29 '16 at 13:33
Really? With OutOfMemory on those bitmap actions? – greenapps Apr 29 '16 at 13:39
I posted the error in the above thread, it is the last section. – Jaxhead Apr 29 '16 at 13:52
