Changing Activities

Question

I am getting an error when ever I switch between my game activity which uses a surfaceview and my other activities using an inflated menu.

EDIT:Code for Background Image

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();//Line 156
options.inSampleSize = 2;    // this will cut the sampling by 50%//Line 157
mBackground = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.background, options );//Line 158

EDIT2:Constructor for image

public HitmanThread(SurfaceHolder surfaceHolder, Context context, Handler handler ) {
this.mSurfaceHolder = surfaceHolder;
mHandler = handler;
mContext = context;
mRes = context.getResources();      

paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);

paint.setTextSize(16);

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inSampleSize = 2;    // this will cut the sampling by 50%
mBackground = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.background, options );
    }

EDIT3:

I tried running my game on a few newer phones using 2.2 and up. It works because without crashing, is there anyway to specify a certain VM budget. Any thing with 16mb or less won't be able to run it sadly. I have 3.4mb of heap with 1mb free any alternative solutions would greatly appreciated.
