[FIXED] I am adding an ImageView in android app in android studio. The image size is 1.93MB. When I am running the AVD, app is getting closed due to an error

Issue

This is the error I am getting : java.lang.RuntimeException: Canvas: trying to draw too large(115781908bytes) bitmap.

Is there any way by which I can fix this without reducing the image quality?

Solution

That isn't a 1.93 MB image. That's a 110MB image. The compressed size of the file isn't what matters, its the uncompressed size- which is 4*width*height.

Why is your image so large, in terms of width and height? That's over 5300x5300. You need a smaller image. Reducing the quality wouldn't help, as the uncompressed size would be the same.

Edit: Fixed initial math where I was off by a suffix. However the math on the pixel size was correct.
