When I start my live wallpaper app, it loads successfully.
When I press "set as wallpaper" it throws a "stopped unexpectedly" error.
When I press force-close from there, the app fires up just fine, no problems, and gets set as my wallpaper and works perfect.
Im trying to get rid of this intermittent force-close.
Ive tested my app on several real phones and it happens on some phones and not others.
Heres my logcat at the moment it throws this error:
04-01 11:26:13.685: INFO/ActivityManager(122): Displayed activity com.android.wallpaper.livepicker/.LiveWallpaperPreview: 524 ms (total 524 ms)

04-01 11:26:14.465: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(4766): java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM budget
Again, after I press force-close, everything works with no further memory errors.
The app is targeted for 2.1, made with eclipse on xp-machine
I came up with a simple solution! I added an OutOfMemoryError try/catch with a toast message I needed anyway in the catch. Cleared it right up!
