Parcelable

[Monica Salvador]

I tried using the Parcelable interface for all of my custom classes. But there are StackOverflow errors when I pass a bitmap/any of those parcelables through the intent. Here's a sample code for one of the classes.

import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

public class Category implements Parcelable{
	
	int id;
	String name;
	Bitmap logo = null;
	
	public Category(){
		
	}
	
	//setter&getter

	@Override
	public int describeContents() {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return 0;
	}
	
	public Category(Parcel in){
		this.id = in.readInt();
		this.name = in.readString();
		this.logo = in.readParcelable(Bitmap.class.getClassLoader());
	}

	@Override
	public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
		dest.writeInt(id);
		dest.writeString(name);
		dest.writeParcelable(logo, flags);		
	}
	
	public static final Parcelable.Creator<Category> CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator() {
        public Category createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new Category(in);
        }

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

	
}

The error that is showing in the LogCat is here:

		dest.writeParcelable(logo, flags);	

I don't know what I did wrong. please help me.

Would you please post the stack trace here so we can get a better info?

The problem's now solved. It had a StackOverflow because I was sending many images through an intent.

As an aside, it is not advisable to pass large Bitmaps in Intent extras. You will run into all sort of issues.
