Failed Binder Transaction when returning camera image
<p>I get the Failed binder transaction error in the logcat when returning the image taken with the camera from the camera intent back to the parent intent (as a byte[] using putExtra). I don't understand why, its not like its a big bitmap or anything. It only happens when i take pictures with lots of light, because then the byte[] is bigger. The error occurs when leaving the camera intent. Does anyone see a mistake in my code? </p>

<p>Here is the code of the camera intent:</p>

     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

                    System.out.println("MAKING PICTURE");
                    mCamera.autoFocus(cb);             
                    return false;

     Camera.PictureCallback mPictureCallback = new Camera.PictureCallback() {
          public void onPictureTaken(byte[] imageData, Camera c) {
               System.out.println("Picture taken, now returning");              
               Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
               resultIntent.putExtra("cameraImage", imageData);
               System.out.println("put Extra");
               setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, resultIntent);

     //initialize camera
     public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
          mCamera = Camera.open();
     }

     public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int w, int h) {
          if (mPreviewRunning) {
               mCamera.stopPreview();
          }

          Camera.Parameters p = mCamera.getParameters();

          p.setPreviewSize(h, w);
          System.out.println("PreviewSize: " + h + "," + w);
          p.setPictureSize(h*3,w*3); // is around 1200x900
          p.set("rotation", 90);
          mCamera.setParameters(p);

          try {
               mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder);
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          }

          mCamera.startPreview();
          mPreviewRunning = true;
     }

     public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
          mCamera.stopPreview();
          mPreviewRunning = false;
          mCamera.release();
     }

}

<p>And here is the code that calls the camera intent:</p>

<pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(Example.this, TakePicture.class);
intent.putExtra("layoutWidth",layoutWidth);
intent.putExtra("layoutHeight",layoutHeight);                   
startActivityForResult(intent,0);
</code></pre>
