Hey Everyone :)

I'm new here, i hope you can help me with my problems..

I developed an new App for something like a school, but i have a few problems with my app on older devices. Sometimes there crash with outOfMemory (Heap) Exception.. i already removed some large images, but the App still use a lot of the Heap Memory.

They also use ~85 mb of RAM, just to display Lot of Constrainet Layout, Text, Buttons & ImageViews (Just with Icons in it) and round about 10 Intents (Of course not at the same time :D)

Is there a way to reduce the amount of RAM/Heap Memory the App use?

Maybe someone can give me some tips how to code a bit more memory efficiency :D

I'll be glade if someone can help me ! :)

Devices:
- Galaxy S7 (Android Version: current one, No problems at all)
- Galaxy S4 (Android version: 4.4, crashes)

Here is a little bit of my Code :< it's my first bigger project, so i think i make a lot of mistakes :'D

MainActivity:

public class ActivityMain extends AppCompatActivity {

private SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
private SharedPreferences.Editor editor;

public static PackageInfo packageInfo;

private int infoCounter;
