OutOfMemoryError-Android Image Crop Issue

Question

I am using a cropper tool i found on GitHub. When I implement it on a separate module, it works absolutely fine.But, When I use the same code with in my actual application, I see "OutOfMemoryError".Below is the code snippet. I have been spending a lot of time on this and any help would be highly appreciated.

Scan Activity:

 @Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Uri imageUri = getPickImageResultUri(data);

//441

       ((CropImageView) findViewById(R.id.CropImageView)).setImageUri(imageUri);
    }
}

activity_scan.xml: Posting the essential code only

<com.theartofdev.edmodo.cropper.CropImageView
android:id="@+id/CropImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/layout1"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="@color/white"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
/>

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/croppedImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_below="@+id/CropImageView"
android:background="@color/white"/>

Log cat says:
