TY :) if you need something more just ask :)

Answer 1

From the logcat it is clear the error is java.lang.OutOfMemoryError which can happen when you try to handle large image bitmaps.

This is the official doucumentation.

Answer 2

this is happening because of setContentView(animatedView); in the MainActivity.java.

It is causing OutOfMemoryError

So if you are using an emulator then increase your RAM size or otherwise try to reduce the size of the images etc you are using.
