fatal crash caused by OutOfMemoryError

[tingsu]

The bug was found in the version 2.97 when running on an emulator device with 4GB memory.

I am not sure whether this issue can be triggered on real device with larger memory. But, anyway, I reported it here with the stack trace.

Huhh. Strange and a bit unexpected. I haven't seen out of memory error yet with SkyTube. I regularly debug it in emulator too as well. And my phone / tablet have much less memory than 4 GB. There is not too many thing, what the app tries to hold in memory - if you open a channel with hundreds of videos, and you keep scrolling down, that could force to keep data in. But here, you tried to download a video description, I'm assuming you tried to watch it
