Arraylist in parcelable object

Question

I have seen many parcelable examples so far, but for some reason I can\'t get it to work when it gets a bit more complex. I have a Movie object, which implements Parcelable.

Answer 1

From the javadocs for readTypedList:

Read into the given List items containing a particular object type that were written with writeTypedList(List)

at the current dataPosition(). The list must have previously been written via writeTypedList(List) with the same object type.

You wrote them with a plain

dest.writeList(reviews);

Answer 2

reviews and authors are both null. You should first initialize the ArrayList. One way to do this is chain the constructor:

public Movie (Parcel in) {
   this();
   readFromParcel(in); 
}
