Answer 1

Just Resize your image in my case my Splash screen image dimensions are 1544x2100 so i changed to 1080x2100 and that will work!! Hope this will help!!! Thanks!!!

Answer 2

Try to set a debug point in android.view.DisplayListCanvas.throwIfCannotDraw and check what image is throw an exception. Some of them is incorrect - large size or you have too many images for example and cant record to canvas pool.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

 private static final int MAX_BITMAP_SIZE = 100 * 1024 * 1024; // 100 MB

    @Override
    protected void throwIfCannotDraw(Bitmap bitmap) {
        super.throwIfCannotDraw(bitmap);
        int bitmapSize = bitmap.getByteCount();
        if (bitmapSize > MAX_BITMAP_SIZE) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                    "Canvas: trying to draw too large(" + bitmapSize + "bytes) bitmap.");
        }
    }

See this code in DisplayListCanvas,otherwise look at View#draw() method,

boolean draw(Canvas canvas, ViewGroup parent, long drawingTime) {
    boolean drawingWithRenderNode = mAttachInfo != null
                && mAttachInfo.mHardwareAccelerated
                && hardwareAcceleratedCanvas;
    ···
    if (drawingWithRenderNode) {
        // Delay getting the display list until animation-driven alpha values are
        // set up and possibly passed on to the view
        renderNode = updateDisplayListIfDirty();
        if (!renderNode.isValid()) {
            // Uncommon, but possible. If a view is removed from the hierarchy during the call
            // to getDisplayList(), the display list will be marked invalid and we should not
            // try to use it again.
            renderNode = null;
            drawingWithRenderNode = false;
            }
        }
    ···
}

that why we can resolve the problem by cancel the hardwareAccelerated
