java - android VM won't let us allocate 10458756 bytes Error on setBackgroundResource of Button -

i want change image of button on click. button looks "clicked" , "not clicked" button image size not big:164 kb

my code worked fine android version 2.3.3 on latest versions started errors

i have read lot of stuff in internet , still can't find answer.

        @override         public boolean ontouch(view v, motionevent event) {              if(event.getaction() == (motionevent.action_up)){                 //do whatever want after press                                   center_button.setbackgroundresource(r.drawable.button);             }             if(event.getaction() == (motionevent.action_down)){                              //do whatever want during press                 //((bitmapdrawable)center_button.getdrawable()).getbitmap().recycle();                 center_button.setbackgroundresource(r.drawable.clicked);                 count++;             }             return false; 

i have tried following things , didn't help:

1. ((bitmapdrawable)center_button.getdrawable()).getbitmap().recycle(); before changing image
2. changing imagebutton
3. adding destroy method recycle
