Parcelable encountered IOException writing seriali

Question

so I am getting this in logcat:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcelable encountered IOException writing serializable object (name = com.resources.student_list.Student)

I know this means that my student class is not serializable, but it is, here is my student class:

import java.io.Serializable;


public class Student implements Comparable<Student>,  Serializable{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private String firstName, lastName;
    private DSLL<Grade> gradeList; 

    public Student() {
        firstName = "";
        lastName = "";
        gradeList = new DSLL<Grade>();
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public DSLL<Grade> getGradeList() {
        return gradeList;
    }

    public void setGradeList(DSLL<Grade> gradeList) {
        this.gradeList = gradeList;
    }

    public int compareTo(Student arg0) {
        return this.lastName.compareTo(arg0.getLastName());
    }

}

and this is the code that is using the getIntent() method:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View viewClicked, int pos,
                                long id) {

                            Student clickedStudent = studentList.get(pos);
                            int position = pos;
                            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), ShowStudentActivity.class);
                            Log.e("CINTENT","CREATED!!!");
                            intent.putExtra("clickedStudent",clickedStudent);
                            intent.putExtra("newStudentList",newStudentList);
                            intent.putExtra("position",position);
                            Log.e("putExtra","Passed");
                            Log.e("Start activity","passed");
                            startActivity(intent);

                        } 

                    });

please help me figure out whats wrong with this.

here is the whole LogCat:

Answer 1

Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException: com.resources.student_list.DSLL$DNode

Your DSLL class appears to have a DNode static inner class, and DNode is not Serializable.

Answer 2

The problem occurs when your custom class has for property some other class e.g. "Bitmap". What I made is to change the property field from "private Bitmap photo" to "private transient Bitmap photo". However the image is empty after I getIntent() in the receiver activity. Because of this I passed the custom class to the intent and also I've created a byte array from the image and pass it separatly to the intent:

selectedItem is my custom object and getPlacePhoto is his method to get image. I've already set it before and now I just get it first than convert it and pass it separatly:

 Bitmap image = selectedItem.getPlacePhoto();
 image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
 byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
 Intent intent = new Intent(YourPresentActivity.this, 
 TheReceiverActivity.class);
 intent.putExtra("selectedItem", selectedItem);                 
 intent.putExtra("image", byteArray);
 startActivity(intent);            

`

Then in the receiver activity I get my object and the image as byte array, decode the image and set it to my object as photo property.

 Intent intent = getIntent();
 selectedItem = (ListItem) intent.getSerializableExtra("selectedItem");
 byte[] byteArray = getIntent().getByteArrayExtra("image");
 Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, 
 byteArray.length);
 selectedItem.setPhoto(image);

Answer 3

I am also phase these error and i am little bit change in modelClass which are implemented Serializable interface like:

At that Model class also implement Parcelable interface with writeToParcel() override method

Then just got error to "create creator" so CREATOR is write and also create with modelclass contructor with arguments & without arguments..

       @Override
        public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
            dest.writeString(id);
            dest.writeString(name);
        }

        protected ArtistTrackClass(Parcel in) {
            id = in.readString();
            name = in.readString();
        }

       public ArtistTrackClass() {

        }

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

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

Here,

ArtistTrackClass -> ModelClass

Constructor with Parcel arguments "read our attributes" and writeToParcel() is "write our attributes"

Answer 4

If you can't make DNode serializable a good solution would be to add "transient" to the variable.

Example:

public static transient DNode dNode = null;

This will ignore the variable when using Intent.putExtra(...).

Answer 5

Your OneThread Class also should implement Serializable. All the sub classes and inner sub classes must implements Serializable.

this is worked for me...

Answer 6

For me this was resolved by making the variable withing the class transient.

Code before:

public class UserLocation implements Serializable {
   public Location lastKnownLocation;
   public UserLocation() {}
}

code after

public class UserLocation implements Serializable {
    public transient Location lastKnownLocation;
    public UserLocation() {}
}
