Parcelable encountered IOException writing serializable object - startActivity

I'm trying to create a registration system. I declare an instance of Profile one time in the first activity, then I use this same instance to pass to another activity. I already passed the same object over 4 times to others activities, but there's one that gives this error.

Class call:

btnNext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            newUser.setProfilePic(pic);
            Intent itt = new Intent(Register20.this, Register30.class);
            Bundle bd = new Bundle();
            bd.putSerializable("newUser", newUser);
            itt.putExtras(bd);
            startActivity(itt);
            Register20.this.finish();
        }
    });

Class that receives:

public class Register30 extends AppCompatActivity {

Profile newUser = new Profile();


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_register30);
    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
    newUser =  (Profile)getIntent().getSerializableExtra("newUser");
}

}

My custom object class (I didn't put getters and setters to not get too big):

public class Profile implements Serializable{

private String name;
private Integer age;
private String sex;
private String description;
private Calendar dateOfBirth;
private String password;
private String emailRegistration;
private int numberCellRegistration;
private ArrayList<Profile> friends = new ArrayList<>();
private ArrayList<Like> likes = new ArrayList<>();
private ImageView profilePic;

}

Solution

  • Either:

    • Remove profilePic from Profile, or

    • Change it to some data type that can be passed across process boundaries and is not too large (e.g., a resource ID), or

    An ImageView cannot be passed across process boundaries, and every startActivity() call passes the Intent from your process to a core OS process (and, in this case, back to your process). Instead, pass something that can tell you how to populate some other ImageView in the Register30 Activity.
