Help debugging TransactionTooLargeException in Android

I am not much of an android programmer. The structure and platform are fairly foreign to me but I am in a position where I need to duplicate the iOS application I have written. I am getting pretty close, but now I am getting a transactiontoolargeexception and thus far my digging through stack overflow hasn't helped me with this specifically. Help?

EDIT: The difference seems to occur when I pull an object out of the SharedObjectModel instead of re-querying the server for something I already have. Coming from iOS it seems really weird to query directly from an Activity.
