MAX_TRANSFER_BYTE_SIZE

public static final int MAX_TRANSFER_BYTE_SIZE

This field defines the max size can be transfered through Message Service in SAFS.

Android Message: The Binder transaction buffer has a limited fixed size, currently 1Mb, which is shared by all transactions in progress for the process. Consequently TransactionTooLargeException can be thrown when there are many transactions in progress even when most of the individual transactions are of moderate size.

So the real max size of data can be transfered is always smaller than that 1Mb. Here we just give 0.25Mb as the max size to be permitted to transfer. But this also may cause TransactionTooLargeException if a lot of transactions is in progress. In future, we may adjust this value dynamically?

it is used to decide if a message should be transferred by a few parcels
