Crash when starting the app on branch start_kotlin using xxhdpi device #257
Description
I just started the app as proposed in codelab and this happened:
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.example.background, PID: 24751
java.lang.RuntimeException: Canvas: trying to draw too large(118054944bytes) bitmap.
at android.view.DisplayListCanvas.throwIfCannotDraw(DisplayListCanvas.java:229)
at android.view.RecordingCanvas.drawBitmap(RecordingCanvas.java:97)
at android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable.draw(BitmapDrawable.java:529)
...
Device:
Moto G 5
API Level 27
As described in this answer:
When an image that is only in drawable/folder is used on xxhdpi device, the potentially already big image is upscaled by a factor of 3, which can then in some cases cause the image's memory footprint to explode.
In the case of this project the error is happening due to the drawable android_cupcake.png
