Answer :
Try to use a smaller image for your layout or see if your application is not consuming too much memory of the device, thus leaving little space for image rendering.
The image is relatively large indeed. Different devices have different memory configurations, and a large image that is supported by one may not be supported by another. Resize the original image to smaller sizes and place each size in the appropriate res/drawable- folder ( res/drawable-mdpi , res/drawable-hdpi , res/drawable-xhdpi , etc.) so each device will load a picture of the appropriate size for its capacity. This question can help you calculate the appropriate sizes.
