Out of memory error when using Firebase

Question

I implement firebase google (com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.0.2), but when I call

FirebaseAuth mFirebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

I get message Out of memory. I'm beginner android, I don't know the reason. How I can fix this problem? Here is the log:

Is this happening on the real device? Try clearing the cache and see if this helps. Alternatively, you can add `android:largeHeap="true"` in your `Manifest.xml` file. — ishmaelMakitla, Jun 09 '16 at 19:50
Glad this helped. Actually I should have suggested this as an answer - please review my answer and accept it so that your question can be marked as answered. — ishmaelMakitla, Jun 09 '16 at 20:19

Out of Memory errors usually disappear if you set android:largeHeap="true" in the Manifest.xml file - but in most cases, care should be taken to ensure you are not unnecessarily loading large amounts of data in memory. For example, look at the discussion in this closely related article here.

However, in your case I think you can just set android:largeHeap="true" in the Manifest.xml file. This should help.
