Please do not down vote question As I am not getting for what the issue is been created.

What might be causing it? Some context/code would definitely help. — Shaishav, Aug 08 '16 at 06:33
maybe you're dealing with Bitmap, you can't solve this issue unless you reduce the picture's size. Could you post the code where you catch this error ? — L. Swifter, Aug 08 '16 at 06:34
I would recommend you to use glide or picasso library to handle image loading — S.W., Aug 08 '16 at 06:37
@L.Swifter I am using Picasso to show profile picture only there is not any large bitmap.and yes background image size is 151KB for all screen. — PriyankaChauhan, Aug 08 '16 at 06:37

You have to enable you MultiDex Support as you see the message in logcat.

To Enable Multidex click here.

you might still face issue if some other issue also exist after enabling it try if still face problem comment below.

Modify your Gradle file:

android {
    ....

    dexOptions {
        preDexLibraries = false
        incremental true
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }
    afterEvaluate {
        tasks.matching {
            it.name.startsWith('dex')
        }.each { dx ->
            if (dx.additionalParameters == null) {
                dx.additionalParameters = ['--multi-dex']
            } else {
                dx.additionalParameters += '--multi-dex'
            }
        }
    }
  ...
}

put android:largeHeap="true" in manifest like this

<application android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" android:icon="@drawable/appicon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:largeHeap="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

NOTE: This might result in temporary solution or no solution at all, in that case please follow @sushildlh methods to reduce image sizes. Also this is neither the best nor the recommended process of doing it but it is an effective solution. click here to know more

This isn't a good idea, unless you are building a large image editing app or something you shouldn't include largeHeap in your manifest file. All you are doing is hiding the issue. – FrankR Jan 18 '17 at 10:29
