getPlaceholderDrawable - java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

[OPunktSchmidt]

I notice a crash on some devices. The error occurs in "getPlaceholderDrawable". I understand that there is not much you can do, if the device has too little memory, this is exactly the error. But i think the app should not crash is this case. This leads to a bad user experience and users will uninstall the app immediately.

Please think about including this part in a try catch. Or pass the exception with @throws so we can catch it in our own code

Did you try?

android: largeHeap = "true" 

or

dexOptions{
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
