How to implement Parcelable object for my class?

Question

I have class which is used to create Client that connects to a Server. It has the following members:

public class MyClientThread implements Runnable, Parcelable {

    private TextView ClientServerMsg;
    private Integer PortNumber = 4545;
    private String IPAddress = "127.0.0.1";
    private Activity activity;
    private Socket clientSocket;
}

When the user rotates the screen, all the client object data is lost/reset and the client has to be reconnected with server.

While implementing writeToParcel method, I ran into problems i.e. How to parcel Socket and Thread class object and such?

How to parcel Socket and Thread class object and such?

You can't.

When the user rotates the screen, all the client object data is lost/reset and the client has to be reconnected with server.

Use a retained fragment, or onRetainNonConfigurationInstance(), or something based off of the lifecycle architecture components (e.g., possibly LiveData), to retain this across configuration changes.
