Do one thing in the manifest.xml

 <application

    android:largeHeap="true">

</application>

Or

make call the Animation in runOnUiThread (Runnable action) or AsyncTask

Or

Single Image need memory:

In this case you have 100 images and dimensions are 400*262.

So , 100 * 400*262*4 = ? KB , size occur during the loading time. If the animation is exceeding the limit of Virtual Heap Memory.

Error will occur defiantly.

For this :

Reduce the dimensions of Image

Or

use less images for the animation

or

split into two animation file after one completion start another one

Try to use Handler and call Handler after few millisecond. It will also reduce the memory issue(OOM).
