I know there are other questions on SO asking the same thing. I have already looked at most of them.

Most answers call about memory errors. I can't see how an ImageView which loads just a small icon (24x24 pixels) can make something like this.

But I'd like to post the stacktrace here maybe someone else can identify something I can't and help me.

Layout file 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="11"
android:paddingTop="16dp" android:paddingBottom="16dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/iv_answer_circle"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_dot"
    android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_weight="2"
    android:layout_marginLeft="16dp" android:layout_marginRight="16dp"

<TextView android:id="@+id/tv_poll_answer"
    android:layout_weight="6"

<TextView android:id="@+id/tv_poll_answer_num"

    android:layout_weight="2"
    android:layout_marginRight="16dp"

</LinearLayout>

EDIT 2 : the code of my Adapter class.

public class PollAnswersAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<PollAnswerItem> {

    private Context context;
    private ArrayList<PollAnswerItem> data;


    public PollAnswersAdapter(Context context, ArrayList<PollAnswerItem> data) {
        super(context, -1, data);
        this.context = context;
        this.data = data;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_answer, parent, false);

        ImageView ivCircle = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.iv_answer_circle);
        TextView tvAnswer = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer);
        TextView tvNums = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer_num);
        TextView tvPercent = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.tv_poll_answer_percent);

        tvAnswer.setText(data.get(position).getAnswer());
        tvNums.setText(data.get(position).getNum());
        tvPercent.setText(data.get(position).getPercent() + "%");
        tvPercent.setTextColor(ColorTemplate.PREDEFINED_COLORS[position]);

        return rowView;
    }

}

you have to see if your image has become drawable-v23 or v24 which might be higher than your mobile os level, Make sure to avoid creating drawable version image in project
