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