[android-developers] Avoid Failed Binder Transaction

There have been a few discussion to how to prevent this error when
downloading a big bitmap from a server with no answer. I ran into this
problem myself and I was forced into look deeper in the API, specially
the Bimap.

When doing the downloading of the image insert this code:

Bitmap = null;
BitmapFactory.Options opts = new BitmapFactory.Options
();
URLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL("your
url for the image").openConnection();
conn.connect();
final BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream
(conn.getInputStream());
opts.inSampleSize = 4;
bm = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(bis, null, opt);

The key one is the Options in which you can reduce the number of
pixels resulting in a smaller image with the .inSampleSize = 4 , the
number is to be divided for the size of the image, preferably an even
number.

Hope this can help anyone facing the same problem I did.

Cheers
