Answer 1

Check the size of your background image, you are running out of memory when It's building the RelativeLayout:

 Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

        at android.graphics.BitmapFactory.decodeStream(BitmapFactory.java:594)

You should use mipmap folders and resize your background for each kind of device resolution not to consume a lot of memory when It's creating the view.
