Xamarin Form Exception Heaps size and OutOfMemoryError

How can I enable large heap in my Xamarin.Forms application ?

Here is MainActivity.cs Android code:

 public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
{
    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle bundle)
    {
        TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
        ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

        base.OnCreate(bundle);
        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, bundle);
        RoundedBoxViewRenderer.Init();
        LoadApplication(new App());
    }
}

See Exception Screenshot below:

My contribution, it worked for me:

[assembly: Application(LargeHeap = true)]

namespace Project.Droid
{
    [Activity(.............)]

    public class MainActivity : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Android.FormsAppCompatActivity
    {

    }
}

The Xamarin way of setting the Dalvik/Art large heap via the Appication attribute:

Application.cs

using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Runtime;

namespace LargeHeap
{
    [Application(LargeHeap = true)]
    public class XamarinApplication : Application
    {
        public XamarinApplication(IntPtr handle, JniHandleOwnership ownerShip) : base(handle, ownerShip)
        {
        }
    }
}

If true, then the process should be created with a large Dalvik heap; otherwise, the process will be created with the default Dalvik heap.

Go to project Options > Android Build > General > Enable MultiDex & Options > Android Build > Advacnced > JavaHeapSize (Set 3G) , In manifest file you can add android:largeHeap="true" in Application Tag

<application android:largeHeap="true"/>
