Question

If I comment out the line decoding the bitmap and (xpos and ypos since they use it) It doesn’t crash. However if they are uncommented it crashes. I don’t know why.

public class ClSprite implements Parcelable{

    private Bitmap SpriteBitmap;    // the actual bitmap
    private boolean Touched;    // if droid is touched/picked up
    private int XVelocity;
    private int YVelocity;
    private int XPosition; 
    private int YPosition;
    private boolean Visible;
    private String SpriteType;
    private int BitmapLocation;


    public ClSprite(int givenBitmapLocation, int xPosition, int yPosition, int VelocityX, int VelocityY, String spriteType)
    {
        //Needs this constructor filled in.
        BitmapLocation = givenBitmapLocation;
        SpriteBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(Game.context.getResources(),R.drawable.icon);
        XPosition = xPosition - SpriteBitmap.getWidth()/2;
        YPosition = yPosition - SpriteBitmap.getHeight()/2;
        XVelocity = VelocityX;
        YVelocity = VelocityY;
        Visible = true;
        SpriteType = spriteType;
    }

I bet your LogCat shows an OutOfMemoryError. Something like this: “OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget”.

If this is true you need to fix or dynamically scale your bitmap. Please have a look here:
