I want to pass a image as a bitmap from one activity to another. And i want to know whether it is possible to do like that.
Sending Activity
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), BitmapActivity.class);
Bundle b = new Bundle();
b.putParcelable("BITMAP", bitmap);
intent.putExtras(b);
startActivity(intent);
Receiving Activity
Bundle bb = this.getIntent().getExtras();
b = bb.getParcelable("BITMAP");
But i am getting !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!! Error
You can use a global class with a static bitmap object in it, something like this:
public class Global {
static Bitmap img;
}
Before stating the activity by intent, assign your bitmap to this Global class attribute:
Global.img = your_bitmap_img;
After starting your activity, you can get back your bitmap by:
bitmap_in_new_activity = Global.img;
I know global variables are too dangerous for debugging but this technique helps us to transfer large data from one activity to another.The binder transaction buffer has a limited fixed size, currently 1Mb regardless of your device capabilities or your app.
Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.f1);
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] food = stream.toByteArray();
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,NoBoringActionBarActivity.class);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
intent.putExtra("picture", food);
startActivity(intent);
Sending Activity
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
byte[] food = extras.getByteArray("picture");
Bitmap fo = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(food, 0, food.length);
mHeaderLogo = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.header_logo);
//ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.header_logo);
mHeaderLogo.setImageBitmap(fo);
Receiving Activity
Don't forget to place your image in drawable.
