App crashes with TransactionTooLargeException when onRestoreInstanceState called

See original GitHub issue

Problem

After putting large bitmap to the Parcelable TransactionTooLargeException will be thrown. You are putting bitmap in onRestoreInstanceState method: bitmap = (Bitmap)bundle.getParcelable("SET_BITMAP"); Google doc about TransactionTooLargeException: The Binder transaction buffer has a limited fixed size, currently 1Mb, which is shared by all transactions in progress for the process. Consequently this exception can be thrown when there are many transactions in progress even when most of the individual transactions are of moderate size.

Steps to reproduce

Turn on “Don’t keep activities” option in developer options
Open Editor Activity with large photo
Press home button to minimize application
Open it from recents
TransactionTooLargeException will be thrown

Possible solution:

Never put bitmap to the Parcelable and load it again when the view restores.
