Android | Unmarshalling Unknown Type while using Parcelable Data in Bundles

Chris picture Chris · Mar 15, 2012 · Viewed 13.2k times · Source

I have a Problem with Parcelable Data in an ArrayList sending via two Activities using Android.Bundle

I have two Activities (A and B).

In Aaaa.class:

ArrayList<Model> mModelList = new ArrayList<Model>
//Fill ArrayList with a few Model-Objects

Bundle mBundle = new Bundle;
Intent mIntent = new Intent(Aaaa.this, Bbbb.class);

mBundle.putParcelableArrayList("models", mModelList);
mIntent.putExtras(mBundle);

startActivity(mIntent);

In Bbbb.class:

Bundle mBundle = getIntent().getExtras();
ArrayList<Model> = mBundle.getParcelableArrayList("models");

The Model.class is implementing Parcelable.

So, the Problem is. When I fill the ArrayList (in Aaaa.class) and put it to the Bundle, I can see that the Bundle contains the varios Objects from the List. When I then try to fill the List in Bbbb.class a Exception is Thrown.

 ERROR/AndroidRuntime(11109): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

    ... 11 more

Line52 is

ArrayList<Model> = mBundle.getParcelableArrayList("models");

I have absolutly no Idea where is the Problem here, the Model.class is working fine with other Bundle - Intents.

Update:

The Model Class as followed.

public class Model implements Parceleble{

  private String name;
  private String address;

  public Model(Parcel parcel){
  }
  public Model(){
  }
  public Model(String name, String address){
    this.name = name;
    this.address = address;
  }

  //Getter and Setter

  //equals, HashCode, toString (autoGenerated from Idea)

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

  public void readFromParcel(Parcel parcel){
    this.name = parcel.readString();
    this.address = parcel.readString();
  }

  public static Parcelable.Creator<Model> CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator<Model>(){
  @Override
  public Model createFromParcel(Parcel parcel){
    return new Model(parcel);
  }

  @Override
  public Model[] new Array(int size){
    return new Model[size]
  }
};
}

Your Parceleble implementation doesn't look quite correct to me, check out the sample code in API to see what are the required method/constructor that need to be overridden:

... ...

// ==================== Parcelable ====================
public int describeContents() {
  return 0;
}

public void writeToParcel(Parcel parcel, int flags) {
  parcel.writeString(name);
  parcel.writeString(address);
}

private Model(Parcel in) {
  name = in.readString();
  address = in.readString();
}

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

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

... ...

Try this code and see if it helps.
