Solution for android app crashes when file too big

[FREEZX]

I had issues with the android app crashing once the target app was chosen, with an error like this, even though the target app successfully got the image:

Solved it by adding:

  @Override
  public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
    super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
    outState.clear();
  }

to the main activity.

Hope someone with the same issue finds this useful. Perhaps this should also be added to the readme

I would be happy to accept a PR for this.

You have the needed background knowledge, so it would be highly appreciated if you can add this to the readme and create a PR.

thx, Michael
