If you have a OutOfMemoryException when you just add a value to an ArrayList it's probably because you have a memory leak somewhere. Use largeHeap="true" only if you exactly know what object take lot of memory and you can't avoid it.

You might be having memory leaks in your application - You really shouldn't be having memory issues otherwise. Android sometimes also has issues with automatic garbage collection, so try placing System.gc() and seeing whether that helps
