Android studio app randomly runs out of memory

I am building a small app which yesterday worked just fine, but today after adding a button did not. I reverted all my changes but I still get the same error, that the app runs out of memory. This is the code and stack trace:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private MainActivity mainActivity = new MainActivity();

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();

    //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}}

I did find something interesting in the Logcat:

It looks like I got a infinite loop going, except I do not. Does anyone know anything I could try? Why does this error just randomly occur?

For your future issues with memory: Try to use Eclipse Memory Analyzer Tool to profile your memory and track potential memory leaks

Your class MainActivity repeaditly creates new instances of MainActivity, since the variable declaration and initalization 

MainActivity mainActivity = new MainActivity();

will lead to an endless recursion that does create instances of MainActivity.
