I need to pass a reference to the class that does the majority of my processing through a bundle.
The problem is it has nothing to do with intents or contexts and has a large amount of non-primitive objects. How do I package the class into a parcelable/serializable and pass it to a startActivityForResult?
One More way to send objects through bundle is by using bundle.putByteArray
Sample code
public class DataBean implements Serializable {
private Date currentTime;
public setDate() {
currentTime = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
}
public Date getCurrentTime() {
return currentTime;
}
}
put Object of DataBean in to Bundle:
class FirstClass{
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Your code...
//When you want to start new Activity...
Intent dataIntent =new Intent(FirstClass.this, SecondClass.class);
Bundle dataBundle=new Bundle();
DataBean dataObj=new DataBean();
dataObj.setDate();
try {
dataBundle.putByteArray("Obj_byte_array", object2Bytes(dataObj));
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
dataIntent.putExtras(dataBundle);
startActivity(dataIntent);
}
Converting objects to byte arrays
/**
* Converting objects to byte arrays
*/
static public byte[] object2Bytes( Object o ) throws IOException {
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream( baos );
oos.writeObject( o );
return baos.toByteArray();
}
Get Object back from Bundle:
class SecondClass{
DataBean dataBean;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Your code...
//Get Info from Bundle...
Bundle infoBundle=getIntent().getExtras();
try {
dataBean = (DataBean)bytes2Object(infoBundle.getByteArray("Obj_byte_array"));
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Aut
