Android, JUnit Tests, and FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION

Issue

I have a large number of tests. When I add a few more, I get E/JavaBinder(1705): !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!. How do I fix this? My current hack is to have multiple test TestSuites that only test a select subset of my tests. There has to be a better way to do this. Suggestions?

Solution

Found this question and response, which indicates that SDK tools v8 has fixed this issue. I was running tests on an old phone with Android 2.1 (i.e., SDK v7). Newer phones should likely not encounter this issue; after using a Nexus phone running Android 4 for my tests, I no longer encountered the issue.
