Parcelable protocol requires a Parcelable.Creator object called CREATOR (I do have CREATOR)

Question

I am trying to pass Parcelable data from one intent to another and this is the error I am getting:

Answer 1

You are have different sequence when reading from Parcel than the one you write in.

In writeToParcel() you are first putting String but in the HeatFriendDetail(Parcel in), you first read integer. It is not the correct way because the order or read/write matters.

Following is the code which makes correct order when writing/reading the data to/from Parcel (also see this link):

public class FriendDetail implements Parcelable {

    private String full_name;
    private int privacy;

    public HeatFriendDetail(Parcel in) {
        this.full_name = in.readString();
        this.privacy = in.readInt();
    }

    public HeatFriendDetail() {

    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {

        dest.writeString(this.full_name);
        dest.writeInt(this.privacy);
    }

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

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

    // GETTER SETTER//
}
