Binder limits

Just hit a binder limit today through a pretty common problem:

I'm trying to save an image, and why not save the image as a byte array in SQLite3?

Doesn't sound like a good idea but , but it turns out it's impossible due to Binder's 1 MB transaction limit. As a result, it's a very bad idea to save image files in the SQLite database. Instead, the resources should be saved on disk.
