Suggestion : It may be possible that xml is not able to load the images due to which it goes Out of Memory and not able to Inflate the xml at the run time. Decrease the size of Images.

Do you mean all the images used in the application, the biggest size i have used is 9.47kb. Also i created a new project and then run just one activity and view which is failing in the main app and i got no errors. – Acute X May 1 '13 at 14:53
    
Found the solution, error was from the locale being used by app. Activity was calling a locale which was not present on the phone – Acute X May 1 '13 at 16:19

The solution is to first make sure all strings are in the default language before entering them in the locale file.
