Android Studio: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Question

I am trying to get my application to display different views when Image buttons are clicked. Its a fairly simple application, but I cant test to see if it works because I keep getting an Out of Memory Error. Here is the java class

Edit:

I decreased the size of the button images by 50% and I still get an out of memory error. Additionally I added android:largeHeap="true" to the android manifest. Below are the original files but with updates

Dashboard.java

    package com.pixel.deloitte.xprizeapplication;

import android.graphics.Color;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.TabHost;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Dashboard extends AppCompatActivity {
    //private TabHost tabHost;
    //private int[] tabs = {R.drawable.dashboardnotclicked,R.drawable.teamreviewnotclicked,R.drawable.teambiosnotclicked,R.drawable.mentornotclicked,R.drawable.schedulenotclicked};
    public static class MyUncaughtExceptionHandler implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler {
        @Override
        public void uncaughtException(Thread thread, Throwable ex) {
            if (ex.getClass().equals(OutOfMemoryError.class)) {
                try {
                    android.os.Debug.dumpHprofData("/sdcard/dump.hprof");
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }

        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //Thread.currentThread().setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(new MyUncaughtExceptionHandler());
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_dashboard);
        findViewById(R.id.login).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    }

    public void buttonClick(View v){
        switch(v.getId()){
            case R.id.loginButton:
                break;
            case R.id.dashboardbtn:
                break;
            case R.id.teamreviewbtn:
                break;
            case R.id.teambios:
                break;
            case R.id.mentorsbtn:
                break;
            case R.id.schedulebtn:
                break;
        }
    }

}

Here is the error I get, the error is thrown at setContentView(R.layout.activity_dashboard)

There's two solutions known to me where one is to perform the operation in thread and split the operation and another is to increase the heapsize of the app where the second option is not recommended — silverFoxA, Jun 30 '16 at 06:40

Set largeHeap property as True in AndroidManifest.xml by,

android:largeHeap="true"

So you can modify the AndroidManifest.xml as,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.pixel.deloitte.xprizeapplication">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="XPrize"
        android:supportsRtl="true"

        android:largeHeap="true"

        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".Dashboard">
            <intent-filter>
