How to increase heap size of Android Application?

Question

Hi, I am performing animation in android application. When running the my application is crash and getting OutOfMemoryException. The error are, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 9437196 byte allocation with 3044192 free bytes and 2MB until OOM

I tried to add largeHeap=true statement in my manifeast file, but this is not the right solution. So, please help me for solving this above problem. Thank you.

My Logcat are given below,

From the exceptions stack trace I can see that you are loading a very large Drawable resource, its not the animation thats causing the OOM its the large drawable decoding — Bhargav, Dec 05 '16 at 07:01

I have solved my issue by adding largeHeap = "true" in the AndroidManifest.xml file. Hope this helps.
