Send an array of objects to another activity

Question

I'm trying to send an ArrayList of objects to another activity, but i got this error on the logcat, and i can't find a way to solve it, i'm a begginer.

GrupoMuscular class:

public class GrupoMuscular implements Parcelable{

    private int id;
    private static int id_aux = 0;
    private String nome;
    private int imagem;
    private List<Exercicio> exercicios;

    public GrupoMuscular(String nome, int img) {
        //super();
        id = id_aux;
        id_aux++;
        this.nome = nome;
        this.imagem = img;
        this.exercicios = new ArrayList<Exercicio>();
    }

    public String getNome() {
        return nome;
    }

    public void setNome(String nome) {
        this.nome = nome;
    }

    public int getImagem() {
        return imagem;
    }

    public void setImagem(int imagem) {
        this.imagem = imagem;
    }

    public List<Exercicio> getGruposMuscular() {
        return exercicios;
    }

    public void addExercicio(int id, String nome, String descricao, int imagem){        
        Exercicio ex = new Exercicio(id, nome, descricao, imagem);
        exercicios.add(ex);
    }

    public void setGruposMuscular(List<Exercicio> gruposMuscular) {
        this.exercicios = gruposMuscular;
    }

    public List<Exercicio> getExercicios() {
        return exercicios;
    }

    public void setExercicios(List<Exercicio> exercicios) {
        this.exercicios = exercicios;
    }

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @Override
    public int describeContents() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
}

ExerciciosActivity: Here is when i'm trying to send the array, when i click on a item in the listview.

 listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

                @Override
                public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

                    Intent intent;

                        intent = new Intent(ExerciciosActivity.this, ListaExerciciosActivity.class);
                        intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("gruposMusculares", gruposMusculares);
                        startActivity(intent);
                }});
            }

ListaExerciciosActivity: Here is where i want receive the array.

gruposMusculares = getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra("gruposMusculares");

The error tells you what you are missing: *Parcelable protocol requires a Parcelable.Creator object called CREATOR on class com.AMOV.mr.fit.GrupoMuscular* — Marko, Jan 03 '15 at 18:38
Your stacktrace tells you exactly what's wrong - `Parcelable protocol requires a Parcelable.Creator object called CREATOR on class com.AMOV.mr.fit.GrupoMuscular` — Mike M., Jan 03 '15 at 18:38
@MikeM. you're right, but i don't know how i can apply it to my project — Marco, Jan 03 '15 at 18:48

You haven't make Your class Parcerable properly - Your writeToParcel method is empty, and You haven't create CREATOR object. Really simple example of implementing Parcerable interface is described on Android Developers:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable.html

The easier way to send object of custom class to another activity is using Serializable interface - Your class has only to implement it and whole work is done.

intent = new Intent(ExerciciosActivity.this, ListaExerciciosActivity.class);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();  
bundle.putSerializable("gruposMusculares", gruposMusculares);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(intent);

Notice that sending objects by Serializable is a little bit slower than by Parcerable and that all objects classes contained in class implementing Serializable have to implement Serializable too.

i had no idea that i could to the same using this method! Thank's! — Marco, Jan 03 '15 at 20:13

Your class missing CREATOR:

Class implementing the Parcelable interface must also have a static field called CREATOR, which is an object implementing the Parcelable.Creator interface.

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

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

Hope this help!
