ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling a Parcelable

I have a problem with parsing a Parcelable across an Intent.

I create parcelable using 

Intent data = new Intent();
data.putExtra(ShoppingListAdapter.parcelName, la);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, data);

I receive it in the onActivityResult:

Parcelable myData = data.getParcelableExtra(ShoppingListAdapter.parcelName);

Then pass it to another Activity using:

Intent myIntent = new Intent(this,Class.class);
myIntent.putExtra("myData", myData);
startActivityForResult(myIntent, RESULT);

My Parcelable has another Parcelable inside which I write and read uisng:

list = in.readParcelable(null);

I have tried using different class loaders, from ClassLoader.getSystemLoader() to MyClass.class.getClassLoader() but still I get a Runtime Exception:

06-12 21:13:04.940: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(29962): Caused by: android.os.BadParcelableException: ClassNotFoundException when unmarshalling:

Is my Parcel corrupted somewhere before this or am I reading it wrong?

Solution

  • As was pointed out this was an incorrect approach to use. So although I haven't solved it, there is a better way of doing the same thing. So consider it instead

    Although if anyone has any idea for the answer to the original question please post. Can happen somewhere else to someone else.
