but remember: the calling Activity MUST implement the xxx(Viev v) method otherwise a
IllegalStateException will be thrown at runtime
be careful if you are using Fragments in multiple Activities

connections:

Because of that the stock browser (and Chrome)
could not handle https downloads.

However the activity gets a chance to handle it first, so the
system calls onOptionsItemSelected() on the activity before
calling the fragment."

30. Logcat shows:
11-12 16:25:53.391: E/JavaBinder(6247): !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!
Some devices show TransactionTooLargeException:
The Binder transaction failed because it was too large.
During a remote procedure call, the arguments and the return value of the call are transferred as
Parcel objects stored in the Binder transaction buffer. If the arguments or the return value are too
large to fit in the transaction buffer, then the call will fail and TransactionTooLargeException will be
thrown.
The Binder transaction buffer has a limited fixed size, currently 1Mb, which is shared by all
transactions in progress for the process. Consequently this exception can be thrown when there are
many transactions in progress even when most of the individual transactions are of moderate size.

Starting with 2.3 HTTPUrlConnection handles and sets gzip as Content-Encoding.
This leads to errors if you get a response where there is no content but a Content-
Length (=0) or a Content-Encoding(=gzip).
getResponceCode leads to EOFException
