How to use high resolution images

I am creating an app that uses an ImageView as the background. I would like to use the high resolution images I have, but that triggers an OutOfMemory error when running the app. I tried reducing the size of the images, but that resulted in images of very poor quality (although the app worked). I cannot seem to find a happy medium. I want my app to have a crisp feel. Any suggestions?
