Answer 1

Any help

Yes, you could try using Picasso to load your images as it will give you automatic caching of images and memory management, also. I have always found resize() method of Picasso helpful.

Also, consider using RelativeLayout since you are nesting way too many LinearLayout s for displaying a single ImageView and this is a performance-killer.

Answer 2

The tricky thing about OutOfMemoryError s is that they don't necessarily have anything to do with the line of code where the crash occurred. If your app has a memory leak, it could be anywhere. The allocation that used the last bit of memory might be completely unrelated to the leak. You need to learn how to use a memory analyzer like Eclipse MAT.
