Parcelable encountered IOException writing serializable object getactivity()

so I am getting this in logcat:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Parcelable encountered IOException writing serializable object (name = com.resources.student_list.Student)

I know this means that my student class is not serializable, but it is, here is my student class:

import java.io.Serializable;


public class Student implements Comparable<Student>,  Serializable{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private String firstName, lastName;
    private DSLL<Grade> gradeList; 

    public Student() {
        firstName = "";
        lastName = "";
        gradeList = new DSLL<Grade>();
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public DSLL<Grade> getGradeList() {
        return gradeList;
    }

    public void setGradeList(DSLL<Grade> gradeList) {
        this.gradeList = gradeList;
    }

    public int compareTo(Student arg0) {
        return this.lastName.compareTo(arg0.getLastName());
    }

}

and this is the code that is using the getIntent() method:

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View viewClicked, int pos,
                                long id) {

                            Student clickedStudent = studentList.get(pos);
                            int position = pos;
                            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), ShowStudentActivity.class);
                            Log.e("CINTENT","CREATED!!!");
                            intent.putExtra("clickedStudent",clickedStudent);
                            intent.putExtra("newStudentList",newStudentList);
                            intent.putExtra("position",position);
                            Log.e("putExtra","Passed");
                            Log.e("Start activity","passed");
                            startActivity(intent);

                        } 

                    });

please help me figure out whats wrong with this.

here is the whole LogCat:

In my case, I was passing a callback function as part of my constructor parameters

data class History(
    val date: String,
    val reference: String,
    val location: String = "",
    val onClick: () -> Unit
)

The onClick parameter could not be serialised. The solution was to exclude it from serialisation by annotating it with @Transient like this:

@Parcelize
data class History(
    val date: String,
    val reference: String,
    val location: String = ""
) : Parcelable {
// The 'onClick' lambda function is excluded from Parcelable implementation.
    @Transient
    var onClick: (() -> Unit)? = null
}

You can go ahead and create an instance of the class like this:

History(
    date = "11/12/2020",
    reference = "50468032640245",
    location = ""
).apply {
    onClick = { /* Implement onClick */ }
}

if your POJO contains any other model inside that should also implements Serializable

The exception occurred due to the fact that any of the inner classes or other referenced classes didn't implement the serializable implementation. So make sure that all the referenced classes must implement the serializable implementation.

In my case I had to implement MainActivity as Serializable too. Cause I needed to start a service from my MainActivity :

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Serializable {
    ...
    musicCover = new MusicCover(); // A Serializable Object
    ...
    sIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MusicPlayerService.class);
    sIntent.setAction(MusicPlayerService.ACTION_INITIALIZE_COVER);
    sIntent.putExtra(MusicPlayerService.EXTRA_COVER, musicCover);
    startService(sIntent);
}

I faced Same issue, the issues was there are some inner classes with the static keyword.After removing the static keyword it started working and also the inner class should implements to Serializable

Issue scenario

class A implements Serializable{ 
  class static B{
  } 
}

Resolved By

class A implements Serializable{ 
      class B implements Serializable{
      } 
    }

Need to change all arraylist to Serializable wif in bean class :

public static class PremiumListBean  implements Serializable {
    private List<AddOnValueBean> AddOnValue;

    public List<AddOnValueBean> getAddOnValue() {
        return AddOnValue;
     }

    public void setAddOnValue(List<AddOnValueBean> AddOnValue) {
        this.AddOnValue = AddOnValue;
    }


    public static class AddOnValueBean  implements Serializable{

        @SerializedName("Premium")
        private String Premium;

        public String getPremium() {
            return Premium;
        }

        public void setPremium(String Premium) {
            this.Premium = Premium;
        }
    }
 }

For me this was resolved by making the variable withing the class transient.

Code before:

public class UserLocation implements Serializable {
   public Location lastKnownLocation;
   public UserLocation() {}
}

code after

public class UserLocation implements Serializable {
    public transient Location lastKnownLocation;
    public UserLocation() {}
}

Your OneThread Class also should implement Serializable. All the sub classes and inner sub classes must implements Serializable.

this is worked for me...

The problem occurs when your custom class has for property some other class e.g. "Bitmap". What I made is to change the property field from "private Bitmap photo" to "private transient Bitmap photo". However the image is empty after I getIntent() in the receiver activity. Because of this I passed the custom class to the intent and also I've created a byte array from the image and pass it separatly to the intent:

selectedItem is my custom object and getPlacePhoto is his method to get image. I've already set it before and now I just get it first than convert it and pass it separatly:

 Bitmap image = selectedItem.getPlacePhoto();
 image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
 byte[] byteArray = stream.toByteArray();
 Intent intent = new Intent(YourPresentActivity.this, 
 TheReceiverActivity.class);
 intent.putExtra("selectedItem", selectedItem);                 
 intent.putExtra("image", byteArray);
 startActivity(intent);

Then in the receiver activity I get my object and the image as byte array, decode the image and set it to my object as photo property.

 Intent intent = getIntent();
 selectedItem = (ListItem) intent.getSerializableExtra("selectedItem");
 byte[] byteArray = getIntent().getByteArrayExtra("image");
 Bitmap image = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(byteArray, 0, 
 byteArray.length);
 selectedItem.setPhoto(image);

If you can't make DNode serializable a good solution would be to add "transient" to the variable.

Example:

public static transient DNode dNode = null;

This will ignore the variable when using Intent.putExtra(...).

I am also phase these error and i am little bit change in modelClass which are implemented Serializable interface like:

At that Model class also implement Parcelable interface with writeToParcel() override method

Then just got error to "create creator" so CREATOR is write and also create with modelclass contructor with arguments & without arguments..

       @Override
        public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
            dest.writeString(id);
            dest.writeString(name);
        }

        protected ArtistTrackClass(Parcel in) {
            id = in.readString();
            name = in.readString();
        }

       public ArtistTrackClass() {

        }

    public static final Creator<ArtistTrackClass> CREATOR = new Creator<ArtistTrackClass>() {
        @Override
        public ArtistTrackClass createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
            return new ArtistTrackClass(in);
        }

        @Override
        public ArtistTrackClass[] newArray(int size) {
            return new ArtistTrackClass[size];
        }
    };

Here,

ArtistTrackClass -> ModelClass

Constructor with Parcel arguments "read our attributes" and writeToParcel() is "write our attributes"

Caused by: java.io.NotSerializableException: com.resources.student_list.DSLL$DNode

Your DSLL class appears to have a DNode static inner class, and DNode is not Serializable.
