Answer 1

I got this in my syncadapter when trying to bulkInsert a large ContentValues[]. I decided to fix it as follows:

try {
    count = provider.bulkInsert(uri, contentValueses);
} catch (TransactionTooLarge e) {
    int half = contentValueses.length/2;
    count += provider.bulkInsert(uri, Arrays.copyOfRange(contentValueses, 0, half));
    count += provider.bulkInsert(uri, Arrays.copyOfRange(contentValueses, half, contentValueses.length));
}
