Description Dmitry Brant 2014-06-17 18:08:09 UTC 
When the Android OS garbage-collects our PageActivity, we store the entire Page object (with the full text content of the page) in the saveInstanceState.  For exceedingly large pages, or when multiple large pages are stored, this can create a "TransactionTooLargeException", which would force the OS to close our app entirely (and not even show the crash dialog).

This can be reproduced by turning on "don't keep activities" and using the app for a while, making sure to switch between different activities often.

The solution should eventually be to find a more efficient way to store the page contents/state (compress / store limited pages / etc).
