I thought what I wanted would be pretty simple, but there must be something I’m missing…

I setup a ViewPager with no problems. It horizontally slides between different fragments. However, when I try to add a header (or anything else) to my layout it force closes. How do I do this?

Here is the XML layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/background_light"
    android:padding="0dp">

<!-- ***** HEADER ***** -->

    <RelativeLayout  android:id="@+id/header"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
        android:background="@drawable/background_dark"
        android:padding="0dp">

        <ImageView android:id="@+id/logo"
            android:contentDescription="@string/logo_contentDescription"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5sp"
            android:src="@drawable/logo" />

    </RelativeLayout>

<!-- ***** SLIDER ***** -->

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/main_pager_view">

        <android.support.v4.view.PagerTitleStrip
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="top"
            android:layout_weight="1" />

    </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

</LinearLayout>

Here is my logcat:

Apparently your image is gigantic:

Out of memory on a 39642008-byte allocation.

That’s 37.8MB. You’re running out of memory.
