Solution

The useful part of this error is the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError part. Going down from that, you can see stack calls related to decoding a bitmap. What this is saying is that you have a large bitmap that is causing an out of memory error when loading.

Check all ImageViews in your xml and look for large images.

When you get crashes loading layouts, the actual errors are usually hidden further into the crash log.
