I had the exact same problem with Samsung Galaxy S6 S7 S8. In my case Splash Screen had high resolution and it was mistakenly placed in the drawable folder. I found solution from this answer.
Right Click on drawable -> New -> Directory.  
Enter new directory name: xxhdpi. It will create a new folder named drawable-xxhdpi if you go to res  
Move your splash image from drawable to drawable-xxhdpi.
                I am getting the same issue on Samsung S7 and J7 and I have tried this solution. But still getting the same error.

                This logic solved the issue in my case for Samsung S6 with Sdks 21, 22, 23 and 24,  1440x2560 and 640 dpi (xxxhdpi). I created a drawable-xxxhdpi and put the splash image there.

Just Resize your image in my case my Splash screen image dimensions are 1544x2100 so i changed to 1080x2100 and that will work!!
Hope this will help!!!
Thanks!!!
                Your splash imgae should not be large you have to either resize or move it to xxxhdpi folder.

                Is your images in drawable folder? Try to move on drawable_hdpi folder. It can help. Check this link: stackoverflow.com/questions/39111248/…

    @Override
    protected void throwIfCannotDraw(Bitmap bitmap) {
        super.throwIfCannotDraw(bitmap);
        int bitmapSize = bitmap.getByteCount();
        if (bitmapSize > MAX_BITMAP_SIZE) {
            throw new RuntimeException(
                    "Canvas: trying to draw too large(" + bitmapSize + "bytes) bitmap.");
See this code in DisplayListCanvas,otherwise look at View#draw() method,
boolean draw(Canvas canvas, ViewGroup parent, long drawingTime) {
    boolean drawingWithRenderNode = mAttachInfo != null
                && mAttachInfo.mHardwareAccelerated
                && hardwareAcceleratedCanvas;
    if (drawingWithRenderNode) {
        // Delay getting the display list until animation-driven alpha values are
        // set up and possibly passed on to the view
        renderNode = updateDisplayListIfDirty();
        if (!renderNode.isValid()) {
            // Uncommon, but possible. If a view is removed from the hierarchy during the call
            // to getDisplayList(), the display list will be marked invalid and we should not
            // try to use it again.
            renderNode = null;
            drawingWithRenderNode = false;
that why we can resolve the problem by cancel the hardwareAccelerated
                Disabling hardwareAccelerated could cause other problems and performance issues that can affect user experience and interface.

To anyone who still needs an answer to this question(as I did two days ago) the answer is simple: Resize all your images that are above 1024 x 1024 to 1024 x 1024, for example I had an image with something like 1080 x 850, that 1080 is a problem and would thus need to be resized and scaled down to 1024 and if you use a photo editing tool, when scaling it will automatically set the correct width / length to your image
Just an addition to the Shuvo Joseph's answer, maybe it's a good idea to not only add drawable-xxhdpi density folder, but also add another density folder.

So whatever the android version and size, your app can prepare the image source with the right size :
Change your folder view on the top left from Android to Project
Go to YourProjectFolder folder > app > src > main > res
Prepare the original image with your best resolution, and split it into each folder size automatically. You can do it in Baker
Then create a folder with another density, namely:
drawable-hdpi, drawable-ldpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-xhdpi, drawable-xxhdpi, drawable-xxxhdpi
Put each image into the appropriate folder
