Converting An Entire Layout To An Image/bitmap

I have been having an issue with this one line of code for a while and I would really apreciate it if any of you have ideaas about it. What I am trying to do is, save a specific la

Solution 1:

The reason is you're trying to pass a Bitmap around using an Intent. Although it's theoretically possible, the size of the Bitmap causes a problems as shown by your error:

E/JavaBinder: !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!! (parcel size = 3602192)

If you want to pass an Bitmap to another activity, then I'd suggest:

1. Save the Bitmap to a file

   Add these to your manifest.xml

   <uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /><uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

   Then the below code should work

   FilebitmapFile=newFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "MyBitmap" + ".png");
   FileOutputStreamfos=newFileOutputStream(bitmapFile);  
   bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 80, fos);
   fos.flush();
   fos.close();  
   

2. Send the filepath as a String to the next activity using Intent/Bundle

   intent.putExtra("filename", "MyBitmap.png");
   

3. Use the filepath in the next activity to recreate the Bitmap

   StringfileName= getIntent().getStringExtra("filename");
   StringfilePath= Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + fileName;
   Bitmapbitmap= BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);
