On some devices (low range) I have this error.

B4X:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 182088012 byte allocation with 4194304 free bytes and 64MB until OOM

Main:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
  
    Panel1.Height = 6 * 100%y
    Panel1.Width = 6 * 100%x
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
    Dim cvsPnl As B4XCanvas
    cvsPnl.Initialize(Panel1)
   'doing something
End Sub

Is there a way to avoid this error?

i don't think there is a way except decreasing the height and the width values :

may i ask why are you doing this ? :
Panel1.Height = 6 * 100%y
Panel1.Width = 6 * 100%x

it may work on some devices because they have more memory or less dpi but this is a very wrong approach my friend

I have a kind of canvas where I place items and I want it to be large enough

I would like a cross platform solution

the problem is not the panel but the canvas.

Opening such a large canvas even on ScrollView2D would generate an out of memory error in some devices.

Try Using LargeHeap

I suggest dividing the items into several canvases or better memorized as files and recalling them when needed

I'll try it

Is it possible to know the maximum size that the device will allow? or an approximate value

I had major problems with Canvas size when targeting SDKs greater than 13 where the maximum available Canvas size seems to be dramatically smaller. As I wanted to display large images, and could no longer do so after SDK 13, I created ScaleImageView, although this is probably of no use to you in your application.

No.

Creating such a large canvas is a sure way to get out of memory errors. Can you post a screenshot of the app?
This panel with large dimensions is a DraggableView with a screenshot you will not appreciate. I think the best option is resize the panel.

It seems the best option is to resize the panel at runtime based on the elements it contains, it is true?

But I still have the same problem, the panel is too big and when I want to snapshot it gives an error
