When I send HashMap with size more than 20 in android 4.1, I get crash

Question

When I send HashMap with size more than 20 in android 4.1, I get crash with this log:

10-02 13:13:05.068: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(938): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

What I do for that:

Intent intent = new Intent(MyActions.PREVIEWS);
HashMap<String, Bitmap> thumbnails = new HashMap<String, Bitmap>();
// added more than 20 items
intent.putExtra("previews", thumbnails);
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();

there is a max size to an intent bundle. I think it is around 500Kb. — njzk2, Oct 02 '12 at 13:26

You should save Bitmaps into files and pass their references to another activity. Extra's bundle size has limitations : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-developers/kwmTGz8GAoQ

Answer on this question also should help

You're probably exceeding the amount of data you can send in an Intent
