I was having the same issue. Then I decided to try using Bitmaps instead of Drawables and I'm not getting the OutOfMemoryException anymore.

This is consuming less memory:

view.setImageBitmap( BitmapFactory.decodeFile( filename ) );

than

view.setImageDrawable( Drawable.createFromPath( filename ) );

In my experience, this happens usually because you have a memory leak somewhere else, and then your app could croak anywhere but is most likely to run out of memory during a bitmap operation.
