Application terminated when you transfer using Intent putExtra Serializable

Question

I think this is due to the large data transfer to Intent. How can I transfer Serializable data to another Activity without restrictions ?

Start to produce an error only in partitions with a large amount of data.

val stocksActivityIntent = Intent(context, StocksActivity::class.java)

stocksActivityIntent.putExtra("PARTNER_KEY", partners[position])
stocksActivityIntent.putExtra("CATEGORY_KEY", "StocksCategoty")

context.startActivity(stocksActivityIntent)

It says `Transaction too large`, `extras size: 541596`. which means that your serialized class is too large to be passed through intent. I was unable to find documented limit, but tests show it is about 504 KB — Vladyslav Matviienko, Aug 22 '19 at 04:44
you have to pass it some other way. For example save it to the file in one activity, and load in another — Vladyslav Matviienko, Aug 22 '19 at 05:05
the limit is 1Mb and on api 27 and above i believe it will actually cause a crash — Kushan, Aug 22 '19 at 05:30
the 1mb does not necessarily have to be just the data u passed btw, it will include all kinds of stuff like states, other system data etc and the bundle limit is for across all your application classes — Kushan, Aug 22 '19 at 05:31
@Vladyslav Matviienko It seems to me that writing to the file will be too slow, maybe there is a faster solution ? — xew, Aug 22 '19 at 05:39
@Vladyslav Matviienko You can give a small example. I do so where you need to get var partner: Partner? = null. val activity = StocksActivity() activity.partner= partners[position] val stocksActivityIntent = Intent(context, activity::class.java) stocksActivityIntent.putExtra("CATEGORY_KEY", "StocksCategoty") context.startActivity(stocksActivityIntent) — xew, Aug 22 '19 at 06:16

You can try use this library: https://github.com/livefront/bridge or store data inside Singleton and retrieving that data inside other activity — cobe_tech, Aug 22 '19 at 08:54

StocksActivity.kt

companion object {
    var partner: Partner? = null
}

StocksCategory.kt

val stocksActivityIntent = Intent(context, StocksActivity::class.java)

StocksActivity.partner = partners[position]
stocksActivityIntent.putExtra("CATEGORY_KEY", "StocksCategoty")

context.startActivity(stocksActivityIntent)

@Vladyslav Matviienko, Thanks for your help )

Try

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();         
bundle.putSerializable("newItem", item); 
intent.putExtras(bundle);

In Activity class include

Intent intent = this.getIntent(); 
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
item= (Item)bundle.getSerializable("newItem");

Is there an example on kotlin ? – xew Aug 22 '19 at 04:55
this won't help, as serialized `item` size is over extras limit – Vladyslav Matviienko Aug 22 '19 at 05:06
