Android IndexOutOfBound Exception for resource getString

问题

Note: This is specific problem with android system, not simply out of bound exception which some suggesting duplicate

I have a problem with investigating the cause of the exception. I'm trying to get string resource text(which is HTML):

val string = getString(R.string.long_html_text)

This HTML is of course valid(works on emulator and other real devices) but not on real device LGE Nexus 5X API 27. The html text has 40113 characters.

When I am trying to get this string resource as above I am getting this Exception:

Has anyone encounter it?

回答1:

As this was only happening on Android Oreo devices i resolve this issue only by split my very long HTML string to two parts.

I think that this issue was due to new Android security restrictions (as some suggested here)
