i have a error on my android project that i cant solve.

I have a game menu layout in one xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/RootView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/gamemenu_background"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/gaveup_button"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:background="@drawable/gaveup_button">

    </Button>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/choice_a_button"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:background="@drawable/choice_a_button">   

    </Button>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/choice_b_button"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:background="@drawable/choice_b_button"/>

</RelativeLayout>

So for each button i have an xml and an image in folder drawable:

choice_a_button_xml.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/choice_a_button"></item>
</selector>

choice_b_button_xml.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/choice_b_button"></item>
</selector>

In layout manager of eclipse de layout are good but when i run the app on a virtual device i have an error and app not start:

    What @Michaeldcooney said and you should also check for memory leaks. Also, what’s the VM memory size (that’s the size of memory usable by an application, not the device total memory size) for your virtual devices?
