<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

public class About extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.about);
ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
Resources res = getResources();
BitmapDrawable bitmap = (BitmapDrawable) res.
getDrawable(R.drawable.aboutscroll);
int imgW = bitmap.getIntrinsicWidth();
int imgH = bitmap.getIntrinsicHeight();
iv.setImageDrawable(bitmap);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = (ViewGroup.LayoutParams) iv.getLayoutParams();
params.width = imgW;
params.height = imgH;
}

Answer 1

"Out of memory error" means image file is too big.. if you reduce, then no more error. :)
