Main Activity.java

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }}

When I delete the ImageView the app works just fine. I have tried everything resizing the image and reinstalling android studio.

Can anyone figure out the problem?

Something's wrong with the drawable- it can't find it. Is it a valid drawable file? — Gabe Sechan

Image resolution/dimension is the problem. Just check and change the resolution/dimension of the image file to a suitable size for mobile phones. I faced the same problem.

I did this tutorial: developer.android.com/codelabs/… and it keeps crashing. I checked multiple things. Then, read your post, and yes, the picture file is too large!

Change this :

  <ImageView
        ...
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/download" />

To this:

<ImageView
        ...
        android:src="@drawable/download" />

UPDATE

Check the drawable directory, probably your drawable is in other folders like drawable-large , drawable-xxhdpi , etc. then clean and rebuild your project

You may messed up with difference between "@+id" and "@id". Try to correct this line of that ImageView in your activity_main.xml

app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/button2"

into

app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/button2"

and retry.

Use PNG or SVG image as the source of your imageView. And change the below line:

app:srcCompat="@drawable/download"

To:

android:src="@drawable/download"

I used a png file and still the app is crashing

tahsinRupam Over a year ago

Did you try clean and building the project?

divyam agrawal Over a year ago

Thank you. My problem got resolved, images were going to drawable-v24 folder instead of drawable.

tahsinRupam Over a year ago

Yeah, I see. Glad you got help. :)

Make sure your image name has no spaces in between and starts with a small case letter.in additon save it in drawable folder instead of drawable(24) otherwise it reports error 90% of the time.

Essentially you need to do a trial and eror by following below mentioned steps:

Try New Project and add you Image first or whatever it may be and then run the emulator.
If it is working, then start adding textView, buttons and other required objects to your activity and run your emulator at every instance you are adding items.
If everything works fine, add code to your Main activity from old project and add all the changes.

It should Run fine. I actually tried this for one of my projects where I was facing a similar issue and it worked.
