Problem unmarshalling parcelables

Question

I\'ve got a few classes that implement Parcelable and some of these classes contain each other as properties. I\'m marshalling the classes into a Parcel to pass them between

Answer 1

Instead of using writeParcelable and readParcelable use writeToParcel and createFromParcel directly. So the better code is:

@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
    location.writeToParcel(dest, flags);
    dest.writeLong(start);
    dest.writeLong(end  );
}

public static final Parcelable.Creator CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator() {
    public LayoverType createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
        return new LayoverType(in);
    }

    public LayoverType[] newArray(int size) {
        return new LayoverType[size];
    }
};

private LayoverType(Parcel dest) {
    location = LocationType.CREATOR.createFromParcel(dest);
    start = dest.readLong();
    end   = dest.readLong();
}
