Bug: android.os.TransactionTooLargeException

[Joram Teusink]

Hi,

 

I (rarely though) get the bug below reported. I have read the Google info about it: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/TransactionTooLargeException.html

 

But I cannot see where this bug manifests itself. Do you have any clues? Does it have anything to do with the (JSON) data passed between PhoneGap and its plugins?

 

Thanks!

What are you doing when the exception is thrown? Are you trying to show a Toast window with a lot of data?

Hi Simon, thanks for responding.

 

I got this error reported through Play Store and so far cannot reproduce it myself (growl for that, lol). You triggered me with the Toast part though.

Perhaps someone is spamming a button in the app and that maybe cause the error(?) (and I am gonna test this out).

 

The messages itself are very small. Stuff like "No internet connection detected" and "Setting wallpaper...". I follow Android design guidelines for that part, so large texts in toast are not userfriendly and therefore not done in my app.

 

Do you know if initiating a plugin to many times (and to fast) in a row (multiple toasts in this case) may cause such an error as below?

I'm not familiar with this error but I can see a call to Toast in the stack.

I found this info on stackoverflow.com: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11451393/what-to-do-on-transactiontoolargeexception

It seems that probably someone was downloading/accessing files in my app like crazy :)

I double checked every stream, bitmap and file that was accessed and if it was properly closed or not. They all are. And nothing weird with notifications.

So, I will declare this bug as "only happens when the moon is full while drinking a mojito"-bug.

Thanks for your responses by the way.
