What this error could be?

CAUTION: all drawable i used is less than 1MB.

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem with Samsung Galaxy S6 S7 S8. In my case Splash Screen had high resolution and it was mistakenly placed in the drawable folder. I found solution from this answer.

1. Right Click on drawable -> New -> Directory.
2. Enter new directory name: xxhdpi. It will create a new folder named drawable-xxhdpi if you go to res
3. Move your splash image from drawable to drawable-xxhdpi.
