Here is what I am doing

ImageView image2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
image2.getDrawable().setCallback(null);
image2.setImageResource(R.drawable.fire);

where fire is an xml file proposing an animation drawable

...

I have this error

I read so many threads about memory leaks, memory errors (for instance java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget – Android) but I didn’t succeed in solving my problem

When I remplace image2.setImageResource(R.drawable.fire); by image2.setImageResource(R.drawable.fire1); where fire1 is a simple png, everything works fine What could I do to solve my problem
