Somthing wrong with xml . Post Splash and the xml it inflates — Blackbelt, May 16 '13 at 10:50
That java.lang.OutOfMemoryError looks interesting. Perhaps the Drawable for the splash image you're trying to inflate is way too big? — Austin B, May 16 '13 at 10:53
This always happens with splash screens. It's God's way of telling you that they are evil. http://cyrilmottier.com/2012/05/03/splash-screens-are-evil-dont-use-them/ — Simon, May 16 '13 at 11:45

The name says it all OutOfMemoryError means you are trying to allocate more than you should.

com.thenewboston.travis.Splash means you are doing that in your splash activty.

Conclusion is you are trying to set a very big image as a background. I'd suggest minimizing the size by using 1 or 2 9-patches.

Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2

its nothing but something wrong in your xml file.

Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

its means some variable have null values which you try to get.

Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

its occurs when you use to get too big image or big size image. mostly it occurs in galaxy s3 mobile whenever you take picture using camera intent.
