Answer 1

If you have high resolution image , you should scale them down to avoid different devices to load the image without facing a memory problem. In your case, some phones may not exhibit the same behavior on the first run, but eventually, without handling an optimized image loading solution, app will crash.

Check more on the "memory problem":

Before setting a drawable as the background for your imageview, i.e.:

iv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.buddha4);  

as @rup35h suggested in the answer, get a scaled bitmap or try other options like inSampleSize, do check how your solution affects the quality of your image too.
