My app keeps stopping / crashing in emulator (after OS reinstall)

Question

I am doing some Android courses and part of my assignments I have to build a mock-up music player app. The app doesn't have to have any functionality so it's mostly xml code. While I try to run it in the emulator, the app keeps crashing with messages like: "Vibes has stopped" or "Vibes keeps stoping".

What might be important to add is that I recently reinstalled the os on my Mac (did a full wipe). I am now running macOS High Sierra. I had some compatibility problems with HAXM, but it was solved with the latest update from Intel on the HAXM component. Java is installed, so I am not sure if there is anything else I am missing here.

I have also tried importing older projects, which worked before, and have the same issue. So based on this, I doubt that the code is the problem here.

Any advice is more than welcome! :-)

Here is manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.alexcojocaru.vibes">

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".Library"
        android:label="Music Library"/>
    <activity android:name=".Discover"
        android:label="Discover Music"></activity>
</application>

And here is the correct log:

Oh, ok haha... thanks, let me try again. Where do I need to look? I took this from logcat. — Alex Cojocaru

I think this post may help you. You seem to use a very large image somewhere, which is too large to draw on the android canvas.
