passing data from an Activity to another Activity Android

Question

This is my class:

public class Asset extends  BaseModel implements Serializable{...}

and on an Activity I have this:

private void openAssignAssetIntent(String actionType){
    Intent assignAssetIntent = new Intent(this,AssignAssetActivity.class);
    assignAssetIntent.putExtra("currentAsset",currentAsset);
    startActivity(assignAssetIntent);
}

and I am trying to get this value("currentAsset") from another Activity like this:

Asset asst = (Asset) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("currentAsset");

But I am getting this exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcelable encountered IOException writing serializable object

What am I doing wrong?

You should use Parcelable instead of Serializable in Android when trying to send data using Intent. (It's more Android way) — hardartcore, Nov 22 '16 at 09:05
@hardartcore, why? `Serializable` is not proxibited, and should work too. Parcellable is just and Android faster serialization implementation — Vladyslav Matviienko, Nov 22 '16 at 09:06
@VladMatvienko exactly! It's more faster and build for Android, not that you can't use Serializable. — hardartcore, Nov 22 '16 at 09:08
Check your logcat again.There will be a line like this `Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException:`:"your package name.someclass" . Check if that is Serilizable. Or give full stacktrace. — Sunil Sunny, Nov 22 '16 at 09:16
@hardartcore, but this does not mean that everybody **should** use Parcelable instead of `Serializable`. I sometimes have situation where I'm not going to implement Parcelable to quickly serialize something that doesn't need high performance. I won't use Parcelable, but will use Serializable — Vladyslav Matviienko, Nov 22 '16 at 09:33

Use Bundle instead:

Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putSerializable("currentAsset", currentAsset);
Intent assignAssetIntent = new Intent(this,AssignAssetActivity.class);
assignAssetIntent.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(assignAssetIntent);

and then retrieve it like

Intent intent = this.getIntent();
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();

Asset asset = (Asset) bundle.getSerializable("currentAsset");

hope this helps

@VladMatvienko no, he is not using a Bundle, please consider reading again the code – Pier Giorgio Misley Nov 22 '16 at 09:05
@VladMatvienko and he is not using putSerializable also – Pier Giorgio Misley Nov 22 '16 at 09:05
@VladMatvienko no problem ;) – Pier Giorgio Misley Nov 22 '16 at 09:07
