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

If you have an Object with a property of type of List objects you should pass the class loader when you read the property for example:

public class Mall implements Parcelable {

    public List getOutstanding() {
        return outstanding;
    }

    public void setOutstanding(List outstanding) {
        this.outstanding = outstanding;
    }        

    protected Mall(Parcel in) {
        outstanding = new ArrayList();
        //this is the key, pass the class loader
        in.readList(outstanding, Outstanding.class.getClassLoader());
    }

    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        dest.writeList(outstanding);
    }

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

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

Note: Is important that the class Outstanding implements the Parceable interface.
