Leakcanary: Crash android.os.TransactionTooLargeException from AbstractAnalysisResultService.sendResultToListener

[eboudrant]

I just tested the new release 1.6.1 on our app and simulated a leak. I see the heap being analyzed in the notification then it stop. Here what I found in the logs :

Let me know if you need more infos...

Thanks!

This looks like a duplicate of #968.

[eboudrant]

Yes, may be. But #968 was regarding sharing.

In this case it fail 100% of the time while analyzing. If really duplicate we can close.

[pyricau]

Thanks @eboudrant , this isn't a duplicate.

Would you mind trying to reproduce in the sample app (so that we can see if it's device related)? Also, is there any chance you could share the heap dump file that caused this?

Sounds like we might have to do things slightly differently...

[eboudrant]

Thanks ... I just tested with the sample app on the same device and it worked, likely related to our app. Let me see if I can share our heap dump.

[pyricau]

I have an idea for a fix, when we have that we'll ask folks to test. Essentially we should write things to the file system instead of passing around all the data through IPC.

[mateusgrb]

I'm consistently getting that crash too. The notification progress bar freezes:

Then a few seconds after the leakcanary service crashes:

I just upgraded to 1.6.1 from 1.5.4(was gettting too many Not allowed to start service Intent crashes). I'm running it on a Nexus 6P Android 8.1.

[vbuberen]

Got the same issue on one of production apps.
Will provide additional info in case of successful reproducing.

Device: Google Pixel (1st generation)
OS: Android P (with September patches)
Leak Canary version 1.6.1

[IlyaGulya]

Looks like duplicate of this #1049

[IlyaGulya]

@vbuberen @mateusgrb @eboudrant Hello, guys. Could you please test my fix? #1102

[mateusgrb]

@IlyaGulya how can I test it?

[IlyaGulya]

@mateusgrb compile main leakcanary module, and use it in your project as dependency instead of the maven one

[kurtisnelson]

We are seeing this in our main app now too.
