How to skip splash screen Activity on low memory Android devices?
In an app with minSdkLevel=9 a splash screen is displayed by the following code:
public class SplashActivity extends Activity {
private static final int DELAY = 3000;
@Override
protected void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
try {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_splash);
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
// ignore
}
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
final Intent intent = new Intent(
SplashActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
}, DELAY);
Utils.init(this);
}
@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
// protect from exiting the application when splash screen is shown
}
}
The activity_splash.xml layout file consists mainly of an ImageView:
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:contentDescription="@string/app_name"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:src="@drawable/splash" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
android:text="@string/copyright" />
</FrameLayout>
Unfortunately, on Nexus 1 the app crashes with out of memory error:
There are 2 variants of splash.png - for mdpi (280 KByte) and xxhdpi:
Surely the splash image could be scaled down more and more variants of it could be provided (ldpi, xhdpi, ...) - but why does not the try/catch in above Java code help here?
And is there maybe a better way to handle this - maybe some directive for AndroidManifest.xml to skip SplashActivity and load MainActivity on low-memory devices?
Here the full crash trace:

Solution
This is the relavant bit of the stack that tells me it's an InflateException:
