Personally, I would avoid keeping that bitmap in memory, otherwise you are consuming a lot of resources and run the risk of hitting performance/heap space limitations.
You could use openFileOutput() and getCacheDir() to store the contents of the Bitmap into a temporary file: http://developer.android.com/intl/fr/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesInternal Then pass the path to the file via the Intent.putExtra() mechanism that you are already using. This way you are only loading the bitmap into memory when it is needed, solving your problem of transferring it to the other activity, and ensuring the temporary file is cleaned up if your app crashes before you have time to delete it.
