Android java binder FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION?

Question

I am trying to download an image from service and display it in activity but I keep getting

 java binder FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION

This is

Answer 1

It fails because you are trying to send an image as an intent extra and it is too large for it. You can't send image using IPC communication technics like intents or service/binder, there is a limit of 1mb/10mb depending on version of android.

Answer 2

Creating the cache of the image solves my problem

private LruCache<String, Bitmap> mMemoryCache;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
// Get max available VM memory, exceeding this amount will throw an
// OutOfMemory exception. Stored in kilobytes as LruCache takes an
// int in its constructor.
final int maxMemory = (int) (Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() / 1024);

// Use 1/8th of the available memory for this memory cache.
final int cacheSize = maxMemory / 8;

mMemoryCache = new LruCache<String, Bitmap>(cacheSize) {
    @Override
    protected int sizeOf(String key, Bitmap bitmap) {
        // The cache size will be measured in kilobytes rather than
        // number of items.
        return bitmap.getByteCount() / 1024;
    }
};
...
}

public void addBitmapToMemoryCache(String key, Bitmap bitmap) {
if (getBitmapFromMemCache(key) == null) {
    mMemoryCache.put(key, bitmap);
}
 }

public Bitmap getBitmapFromMemCache(String key) {
return mMemoryCache.get(key);
}
