Out of memory when saving state

Can’t really replicate this issue, but reported quite a bit of instance error log

Fatal Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Failed to allocate a 9740048 byte allocation with 7449136 free bytes and 7MB until OOM

Hi @elye . Thanks for investigating that! Yes that is pretty much the exact approach I had in mind when I mentioned using File / FileOutputStream as a larger change to get around the issue. This is definitely something I want to pursue further. I’d say for now it looks like you can just go ahead and use your own fork until I can get around to getting a version of this change into the main library.

@elye The fix to avoid Base64-encoding the data to get around the OOM issue has been released with v1.3.0. Sorry for the delay on this! Please let me now know if you have more questions. I’m going to close the issue for now. As for the OOM problem when calling parcel.writeBundle(bundle), the best I would be able to do is catch the exception and fail to save the state. If that’s a fix you’d be interested in, feel free to open a separate issue for that and I can look into it.
