AppWidgetHost crash android.os.TransactionTooLargeException

Question

I\'m working on a custom android launcher. After I add some widgets (Samsung gallery, Favourite direct dial), every time I restart the app I obtain a crash. This is the code

See TransactionTooLargeException in the docs. If you look at the source for AppWidgetHost you will find this code mentioned in your trace:

ArrayList updatedViews = new ArrayList();
// ....
updatedIds = sService.startListening(mCallbacks, mPackageName, mHostId, updatedViews);

In this case the updatedViews is an array of RemoteViews. Those can be quite large if they contain a lot of images. Do you have some widgets with huge images in them or something?
