react-native: [Android] Fail to render a large image

Issue Description

When I try to render a big image (5312 x 2988), the image container just shows an empty box. If the image is reasonably sized (~1024x1024) or comes directly from device instead from a remote url, it renders fine. Not sure if it’s a memory or networking issue. There’s another open issue(https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/7408) that seems to discuss a similar topic.

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets

Render a large image in a ListView. In a dev mode, the app will crash in a few seconds. In a production mode, the app just shows a white background in place of an image.

Inside a ListView I render an image like below:

<Image
  source={{uri: imageURI}}
  style={styles.canvas}
  resizeMode="cover"
/> : null

StyleSheet.create({
  canvas: {
    width: null,
    height: 300,
  },
})

<ListView
  dataSource={this.state.dataSource}
  renderRow={this.onRenderRow}
  enableEmptySections={true}
  initialListSize={5}
  pageSize={10}
/>

Expected Results

Image is rendered successfully.

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.35.0
• Platform(s) (iOS, Android, or both?): Android 6
• Operating System (macOS, Linux, or Windows?): MacOS

Update

Unfortunately, trying to resize a large picture using ImageEditor also fails because of an OutOfMemory exception. I used the photos that are captured by device’s built-in camera.
