I have a working Parcelable
implementaion for all the fields in my Parcelable Class apart from List<List<String>>
class Employee implements Parcelable {
List<List<String>> details;
//.......
protected Employee(Parcel in) {
details = new ArrayList<List<String>>();
// i know this is wrong just posting to clarify
in.readList(details, List.class.getClassLoader());
//......
}
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
dest.writeList(details);
//.....
}
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
public static final Parcelable.Creator<Employee> CREATOR =
new Parcelable.Creator<Employee>() {
public Employee createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
return new Employee(in);
}
public Employee[] newArray(int size) {
return new Employee[size];
}
};
}
Exception:
05-10 19:07:44.072: E/AndroidRuntime(10661): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcel android.os.Parcel@42a509e8: Unmarshalling unknown type code 3604535 at offset 268
Extending ArrayList
and implementing Parcelable
on it worked for me.
public class ParcelableArrayList extends ArrayList<String> implements
Parcelable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -8516873361351845306L;
public ParcelableArrayList(){
super();
}
protected ParcelableArrayList(Parcel in) {
in.readList(this, String.class.getClassLoader());
}
@Override
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
dest.writeList(this);
}
public static final Parcelable.Creator<ParcelableArrayList> CREATOR =
new Parcelable.Creator<ParcelableArrayList>() {
public ParcelableArrayList createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
return new ParcelableArrayList(in);
}
public ParcelableArrayList[] newArray(int size) {
return new ParcelableArrayList[size];
}
};
}
and Employee class
class Employee implements Parcelable {
List<ParcelableArrayList> details;
//.......
protected Employee(Parcel in) {
details = new ArrayList<ParcelableArrayList>();
in.readTypedList(details,ParcelableArrayList.CREATOR);
//......
}
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
dest.writeList(details);
//.....
}
public int describeContents() {
return 0;
}
public static final Parcelable.Creator<Employee> CREATOR =
new Parcelable.Creator<Employee>() {
public Employee createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
return new Employee(in);
}
public Employee[] newArray(int size) {
return new Employee[size];
}
};
}
I would create a class that extends List, implement Parcelable on that class. You can otherwise treat it as a normal list, but allow it to be parcelable.
Create class DetailsEntry implements Parcelable
which contains List<String>
and use List<DetailsEntry> details
in Employee
.
