Pass ArrayList<? implements Parcelable> to Activity

Question

I have searched a few topics but not found a solution to my problem.

public class Series implements Parcelable {
private String name;
private int numOfSeaso         


        

Answer 1

• The problem is in writing out to the parcel and reading in from the parcel ...

  @Override
  public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
      dest.writeString(name);
      dest.writeInt(numOfSeason);
      dest.writeInt(numOfEpisode);
  }
  
  private void readFromParcel(Parcel in) {
      name = in.readString();
      numOfSeason = in.readInt();
      numOfEpisode = in.readInt();
  }
  

• What you write out has to match what you read in...

  @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
  Intent i = new Intent(this,SecondActivity.class);
  
  ArrayList testing = new ArrayList();
  
  i.putParcelableArrayListExtra("extraextra", testing);
  startActivity(i);
  }
  
      /**********************************************/
  
  
  public class SecondActivity extends Activity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
      ArrayList testing = this.getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra("extraextra");
   }
  }
  

• The above code is having onCreate() from two different activities. The first one launches the second one; and it works fine I was able to pull the parcelable without issue.
