Fixing Crash Due to Canvas Trying to Draw Too Large Bitmap

Hello guys, on this occasion I want to share about how to solve android application crash errors caused by too large image assets when rendering.

This was first detected when one of our clients tried to install our app on a Galaxy A9 Pro device.

After I traced through firebase crashlytic, I found a capture error like this.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Canvas: trying to draw too large(122349544bytes) bitmap.

The trigger for all of this is the result of an improperly placed image assets

From the beginning, I actually suspected that there were many things that needed to be fixed in this legacy Android project according to standards and best practices, such as the official instructions for the Google Android developer. But I don't think that placing an image in the drawable resource incorrectly can result in fatal errors such as crashes.

Ok as a solution, then I move all the bitmap image assets to the drawable-nodpi directory.
