App crashing when setting new content view

Question

Edit:

It seems my button styles are causing the issue.

Edit Code

buttonL.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
                buttonL.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.lights_over);
            if(event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction()==MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL)
                buttonL.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.lights);
            return false;
        }
    });

The code above is what works for 4.2 and up for some reason.

Putting it here for future people.

My app is crashing when I try to call the setContentView() method to my layout .

I tried a few solutions and when I removed my styles for my buttons the error went away.

It seems that the styles I am using for my buttons is causing this.

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/lights_over" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/lights_over" />
<item android:state_selected = "true" android:drawable = "@drawable/lights_over" />
<item android:drawable = "@drawable/lights" android:id="@+id/button_L"/>
</selector>

Answer 1

From logcat the problem is background of your Button. I think it's somehow big image so it overflow your memory.

First
Try to remove any @drawable in menu_system.xml especially android:background in Button
Run your if it's work then you know where to look.

Second(for workaround)
Move your background image file to bigger folder
from drawable to drawable-xhdpi

Answer 2

Try this:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash);

    Thread splash=new Thread(){
        public void run(){
            try{
                sleep(2000);
            }catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally{
                startActivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),StartMenu.class));
                finish();
            }
        }
    };

    splash.start();
}

And your Manifest.xml:

 <activity
 android:name="com.example.mapcard.Splash"
 android:label="@string/app_name" >
 <intent-filter>
 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
 </intent-filter>

我尝试了您的代码。它工作正常。我认为问题是由于内存不足。问题与图像资源有关，请尝试将图像设置为压缩格式以避免内存泄漏。
