Passing object as an extra to the intent

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone tell me how do i pass object as extras to an intent, i mean with the help of putExtras() method.
I tried making my class as Serializable and send it but gave me some marshalling errors.
I also tried by sending it into Hashmap but did not work.
Anyone who can give me an idea/example for solving this issue.

Thanks,
Faiz

try Parcelable instead of Serializable

For me passing objects as serializable works very well.

I defined a user class:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
public class User implements Serializable{
 
 private String name;
 
 //Getter and Setter
 
}
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Save the object in an activtiy with this code:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
Intent i = new Intent(this, newActivitiy.class);
 
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
 
User u = new User();
 
u.setName("Michels");
 
b.putSerializable("testobject", u);
 
i.putExtras(b);
 
startActivity(i);
 
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

And get the object in the new Activity with this code

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
 
User u = (User) b.getSerializable("testobject");
 
String name = u.getForename();
 
Log.v("MyLog", "Name: "+name);
 
Parsed in 0.034 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Works well for me. Any reasons why I shouldn't use that?
