Intent putextra serializable object array

my problem is putextra method with serializable object array. I mean if i try bottom code it throws Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException:

Here 's the code : 

 class Example implements Serializable
    {
      private int ID; // It has getters and setters and also other variables.
    }

Intent inte=new Intent(this,OTHERCLASS.class);
Example[] examples=new Example[]; // It's just an example.
Bundle bundle = new Bundle(); 
bundle.putSerializable("Details", examples);
inte.putExtras(bundle);
startActivity(inte);

Thanks.

this is because you can't serialize a inner class without making its parent class serializable. Which in your case is your Activity. So simply create a new java file for your Example class

Although your class is serializable, an Array of items with your class (Example[]) is not serializable. Edit: Thanks @gomino for pointing out that this was wrong. I just assumed this was the reason for the problem without actually thinking about it.

Also, it would be more efficient to use a Parcelable instead. You can find a tutorial here.
