Android OutOfMemoryError when Fragment's onCreateView called

Question

I have an Activity with fragment inside. On some devices like Xiaomi application crashes and OutOfMemoryError thrown. There's stacktrace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 9437196 byte allocation with 5089232 free bytes and 4MB until OOM

The exception is thrown when called onCreateView method of AuthFragment . There's method:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_auth, container, false);
    ButterKnife.bind(this, view);

    return view;
}

Exception is thrown on line View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_auth, container, false); What can I do to solve this problem?

You can use largeHeap in your Application. Just add to Manifest:

    <application
    ...
    android:largeHeap="true"
    ...
