Extending a class that implements Parcelable

Question

I have a class, we\'ll call it class A, that implements Parcelable.

I have a second class, we\'ll call it class B, that extends class A.

My question is:

Answer 1

Adding an example, the marked answer is indeed correct, but something more visual seems more suitable for this situation:

This would be the supper class:

public class BasePojo implements Parcelable {

    private String something;

    //what ever other constructor

    //getters and setters

    protected BasePojo(Parcel in) {
        something = in.readString();
    }

    public static final Creator CREATOR = new Creator() {
        @Override
        public BasePojo createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new BasePojo(in);
        }

        @Override
        public BasePojo[] newArray(int size) {
            return new BasePojo[size];
        }
    };

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

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel parcel, int i) {
        parcel.writeString(something);
    }

}

And then this would be the child class:

public class ChildPojo extends BasePojo implements Parcelable {

    private int somethingElse;

    //what ever other constructor

    //getters and setters

    protected ChildPojo(Parcel in) {
        super(in);
        somethingElse = in.readInt();
    }

    public static final Creator CREATOR = new Creator() {
        @Override
        public ChildPojo createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new ChildPojo(in);
        }

        @Override
        public ChildPojo[] newArray(int size) {
            return new ChildPojo[size];
        }
    };

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

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel parcel, int i) {
        super.writeToParcel(parcel, i);
        parcel.writeInt(somethingElse);
    }

}

The marked answer provides a very good explanation, calling super is the key.
