Answer 1

For some reason there's not enough memory for you to create a Bitmap. You can wrap your Bitmap creation into try { ... } catch(OutOfMemoryError) {}

In the catch block or elsewhere you may want to scale your bitmap down, maybe then it gets created something like

bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(bmp, bmp.getWidth()/2, bmp.getheight()/2, true)

Answer 2

Use below method to reduce the size of the image. You are getting OutOfMemory error because of large image size.

public static Bitmap decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(Resources res, int resId,
        int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {

    // First decode with inJustDecodeBounds=true to check dimensions
    final BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
    BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);

    // Calculate inSampleSize
    options.inSampleSize = calculateInSampleSize(options, reqWidth, reqHeight);

    // Decode bitmap with inSampleSize set
    options.inJustDecodeBounds = false;
    return BitmapFactory.decodeResource(res, resId, options);
}

public static int calculateInSampleSize(
            BitmapFactory.Options options, int reqWidth, int reqHeight) {
    // Raw height and width of image
    final int height = options.outHeight;
    final int width = options.outWidth;
    int inSampleSize = 1;

    if (height > reqHeight || width > reqWidth) {
        if (width > height) {
            inSampleSize = Math.round((float)height / (float)reqHeight);
        } else {
            inSampleSize = Math.round((float)width / (float)reqWidth);
        }
    }
    return inSampleSize;
}

and use in your code like

mImageView.setImageBitmap(
    decodeSampledBitmapFromResource(getResources(), R.id.myimage, 100, 100));

For more details, I suggest you to must read developer information provided by Android developer site on Bitmap efficiency.
