App stopps working

Question

I just cant figure out what I am doing wrong. I'm a complete beginner in coding so dont be mad :)

Basically I wanted to do an animated background in my splash screen. But the app stopps working every time I launch it.

Heres the code and error:

Welcome Activity (splash):

public class WelcomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 4000;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_welcome);

        android.support.v7.app.ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
        actionBar.hide();



        ImageView bgAni = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageBG);
        bgAni.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.animation_list);

        AnimationDrawable pro = (AnimationDrawable) bgAni.getBackground();
        pro.start();


        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                Intent welcomeIntent = new Intent(WelcomeActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
                startActivity(welcomeIntent);
                finish();
            }
        }, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);

    }
}

Main Activity:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

The message is pretty clear: `OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 6350412 byte allocation`. Your Image is too big — Jens, Aug 18 '17 at 11:01

Here you run out of memory the application can't allocate the necessary memory there is a solution for that you can put this line at your manifest in application tag

android:largeHeap="true"

In your manifest, under application include the following:

<application
    ...
    ..
    .
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:hardwareAccelerated="false"
    android:largeHeap="true"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    .
    ..
    ...>

And take off the finish(); you use after calling the intent.

In your <animation-list .......... </animation-list> you are animating with 124 drawables , This will definitely cause out of memory Exception even if you add largeheap, This is not good practise . refer here this library for creating animated splash .... or choose other alternatives
