Activity not starting when send Bitmap through intent

In my app, I am starting an Activity for current Activity and sending Bitmap through Intent but Activity will not start and when I am not sending that Bitmap it is working fine. Here is the code:

Intent i = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
i.putExtra("USERNAME", userName);
i.putExtra("STATUS", status);
i.putExtra("IMAGE_BITMAP", bitmap);
startActivity(i);

When is execute this code activity B is not starting but when i remove i.putExtra("IMAGE_BITMAP", bitmap); this line, it works fine. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I suggest you to use public static global variable for that. Try this

Create one class

public class Constant  {
  public static Bitmap b = null;
}

Now when you want to send Bitmap from one activity to other, use it as below.

In first activity,

Constant.b = bitmap;
Intent i = new Intent(A.this, B.class);
i.putExtra("USERNAME", userName);
i.putExtra("STATUS", status);
startActivity(i);

In second activity.

Bitmap b = Constant.b;
img.setImageBitmap(b);  //just for example, use it as per your requirement

You need to convert it to a Byte array before you add it to the intent. Here is the example

Update: I was using the method above but the following might be easier to use I guess

Update2: Please look at this comment, too. This additional one is not a solution to your problem, but just a friendly reminder

Could you try the first one? I got it to run sooo many times. – yildirimyigit Jun 19 '14 at 11:45
Thanks first one is working fine... but want to know why second one is not working? – Gaurav Berry Jun 19 '14 at 12:03
Yeah, I didn't know Bitmap is 'Parcelable' before and now I'm curious too. – yildirimyigit Jun 19 '14 at 12:05
