Question

I am using a collection of my object in my activity. I pass this collection from Activity ActDocumentDetails to ActProductsGallery. When my collection is not so large, I have no problem but when the size of collection is large enough I get this execption:

Activity pause timeout for ActivityRecord{40af3ef8 org.mabna.order/.ui.ActProductsGallery}

How can I resolve this timeout problem?

Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Perhaps it’s because you’re putting too much into your Intent. Consider having a static field, for example, within your Application object for passing large amounts of data between activities. Or even better a WeakHashMap.
