Basically I receive the Image's URI from the Gallery, then created a Bitmap and want to send to another activity for displaying:
Uri imageUri = intent.getData();
mBitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(getContentResolver(), imageUri);
Intent intent = new Intent(TakePictureActivity.this, PreviewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_BITMAP_DATA, mBitmap);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PREVIEW);
When I put nothing to the intent, the PreviewActivity can be fired normally. However when I put the bitmap, the emulator was freezing until I forced close. This has happened to me several times and I've always tried to work aroudn that by sending something else other than the Bitmap object.
But this time I guess I can't. I don't want to change the API by passing the image's Uri because some other Activities are already sending it bitmaps. This one is a special case.
Here is the output from LogCat during the freezing:

This does not happen with all bitmaps. This particular bitmap is from a ~300K file, but I dont know if it's related to the size. Is this my fault? Has anyone experienced this?
Thank you very much
