This happens when the app loads from Splash screen to Main page. It happens only on the device not on simulator:

05-17 08:10:16.627: I/dalvikvm-heap(14021): Grow heap (frag case) to 20.580MB for     2424256-byte allocation

05-17 08:10:16.728: I/dalvikvm-heap(14021): Grow heap (frag case) to 24.533MB for 4310896-byte allocation

I used Ecplise MAT – the byte allocation resolved – Android.Graphics.Bitmap $preloaded images…

The device I am using is Google Nexus Prime, Android 4.0

Has anyone encountered the same? Can someone throw some expertise….

    You are probably trying to decode a very big Bitmap which results in an OutOfMemory exception. It means that the operation you are trying to achieve is exceeding the VM Budget allowed for each application on your device, in terms of heap memory consumption (which appears to be 24 MB on your device, probably more on your emulator which is why it doesn’t happen there!).

    Try to sample your Bitmapby a factor of two for instance:

    BitmapFactory.Options o = new BitmapFactory.Options();
o.inSampleSize = 2;
Bitmap b = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(pathToBitmap, o);
