This Error does not comes when i use phones with Android Oreo or higher Version. But, when I am trying this app in Android Marshmallow with 3GB RAM this error pops up.

Things I have tried while looking up in google are:

1) Added com.android.support:design:28.0.0

2) Added android:largeHeap="true"

3) Copied all of my drawable items in drawable-v24 folder

Above methods did not give any positive results.

Answer 1

It seems that your drawable resource is such big that there is not enough memory for it to be loaded.

First, if it is not meant to be that high-resolution, I would recommend you to provide different images for each screen pixel densities. Check out this(Support different pixel densities) for more information.

Second, if you want to load that high-resolution image anyway, you should consider not loading it completely to the memory. Check out this(Loading Large Bitmaps Efficiently) for more information about loading a large image efficiently.
