You are getting an OutOfMemory exception when your activity gets recreated after orientation change.
I could guess in your FrameActivity you are leaking bitmaps on every activity creation not allowing the GC to free up enough memory.

I am developing an Android native extension for push notification. I have added the gcm library to the class path but the class GoogleCloudMessaging could not be found. Even thought the jar from google is added to the class path of the android project, I still get the error message, so after I export the jar I am updating with the classes from the Google gcm jar. After this everything looks ok at jar level but the problem still persist and I have the following error:

Activity started without an EXTRA_ACCOUNT when using native sharing on GooglePlus SDK

I have a Google+ connection in my app, and when I try to get the user's information with a Person Object, everything works just fine.
but when I'm using the Share dialog as stated in the documentation, I get a crash in the G+ library.
here is the code I'm using for this:
Intent shareIntent = new PlusShare.Builder(getActivity())
.setType("text/plain")
.setText(getString(R.string.application_sharing_default_share_with_friends))
.setContentUrl(Uri.parse(shareLink))
.getIntent();
startActivityForResult(shareIntent, 0);
and when I run this all I get is this error and crash:

This was a bug in the Google+ app that is fixed in the latest build that came out today: https://plus.google.com/101870761930221849874/posts/KohXe9pBGF6 Sorry about that.

Check your g+ app first, it is likely the g+ account is not completely set up. Go to the g+ and follow the steps to have at least one g+ account set up and the error should be gone.

Update list with RSS data

I am working on displaying some RSS data in a ListView. I was reading up on the onProgressUpdate() method provided by the Asynchronous task class.
I was wondering if it would be possible to use this method to update the listview as each item from XML is retrieved?
I overrided the method here:
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) {
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
I am getting this error:
Caused by: android.view.ViewRootImpl$CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
EDIT: I just read an article saying this error is generated from trying to update the UI thread from within the background thread inside of the doInBackground() method. In my case I am calling the onProgressUpdate() in the doInBackground() method. I was trying to add the effect of the list populating as each item was downloaded.
Any suggestions of how I could achieve this would be great!

In my case I am calling the onProgressUpdate() in the doInBackground()
method.
You have to call publishProgress() instead. If you directly call onProgressUpdate(), that is still running from the background thread and so, will fail.
You should take a look at the AsyncTask documentation, they provide an example.
