FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION while passing Bitmap from one activity to another

Question

I want to pass a image as a bitmap from one activity to another. And i want to know whether it is possible to do like that.

Sending Activity

Answer 1

You can use a global class with a static bitmap object in it, something like this:

public class Global { static Bitmap img; }

Before stating the activity by intent, assign your bitmap to this Global class attribute:

Global.img = your_bitmap_img;

After starting your activity, you can get back your bitmap by:

bitmap_in_new_activity = Global.img;

I know global variables are too dangerous for debugging but this technique helps us to transfer large data from one activity to another.The binder transaction buffer has a limited fixed size, currently 1Mb regardless of your device capabilities or your app.
