How to pass non parcelable objects to from activity to another activity?

Question

I have two objects instantiated from two different class and both classes do not implement parcelable nor serializable. and I want to pass those objects to another activity, so I wrote the below code:

*code:

 //send object
 Intent intConnect = new Intent(mCtx.getApplicationContext(), ActConnect.class);
            Bundle bndConnect = new Bundle();
            bndConnect.putParcelable("HeaderModel", (Parcelable) mHeaderModel);
            bndConnect.putParcelable("DetailsModel", (Parcelable) mDetailsModel);
            intConnect.putExtras(bndConnect);
            intConnect.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            mCtx.startActivity(intConnect);

//receive objects in the receiving activity
 Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
    Header headerModel = (Header) extras.get("HeaderModel");
    Details detailsModel = (Details) extras.get("DetailsModel");

but at run time, I receive the below logcat:

logcat:

        at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:739)
        at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:95)

how can I pass non parcelable objects to from activity to another activity?

Answer 1

You can do this way:

Your Model class will looks like below:

public class ModelClass implements Serializable{

  // Other stuff

}

How to pass:

Intent mIntent = new Intent(mContext, NextActivity.class);
mIntent.putExtra("HeaderModel", mHeaderModel);
startActivity(mIntent);

How to get:

Header headerModel = (Header) getIntent.getSerializableExtra("HeaderModel");

Hope this will help you.
