Answer 1

If you need to output a string with that size try to write it into a file on the SD-Card. That is the only way I can think of to get this string out of your app. If you append the items one by one to the file you want need that much memory.

Answer 2

It seems that there is a hard limit of 16 MB heap space on Android apps that can only be worked around by altering the Android source. Your program has hit this limit: "Out of memory: Heap Size=15559KB". You'll need to figure out how to reduce your program's memory usage. A nice guide to doing this is here.
