How pass an ArrayList<customObject> from an intent to an other?

I have an intent which is searching data from a webservice. I'm trying to pass these datas from this intent to another screen (intent)

searching intent

public void setXXX(ArrayList<XXX> xxxData) {
    this.xxxs= xxxData;
    if(xxxData.size() > 0)
    {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, otherActivity.class);

        startActivity(intent);
    }else{
        alert (getResources().getString(R.string.no_result));
    }
}

receiver intent

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            this.xxxs = (...);      

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_xxxlist);
    this.xxxList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);

    this.listView.setAdapter(new xxxDataAdapter(this,this.layoutInflator, this.xxxs));
}

How can i use my arrayList<> from the second intent ?

To be able to send Objects through Intents, you have to implement Parcelable interface for that object. It uses a CREATOR to write Strings and primitive types of that object.

Here is the developer page for it.

Once you have done that, you can send that object in an ArrayList like this:

intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra(ArrayList<Parcelable> ... );

See this method: putParcelableArrayListExtra

And in the receiving activity, you can call:

getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra( String key );

As defined in the API here
