Question

I am developing an app for all android devices. It is working good on all device and I tested it on Samsung Galaxy S1, Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom, HTC One and also on Amazon Kindle Fire.
It runs perfectly on all devices but when i tried using it on Nexus 7, it crashes and in log it says Out of Memory Error. I tried using System.gc(); in Activity#onPause() method but in vain. There are alternative drawables and layouts exist in app.
Please help me to resolve this issue. This issue is only specific to Nexus 7.
Below is stacktrace:

Ya i had faced this issue too but not found a valid solution but you can try using android:largeHeap="true" in manifest at application level
