Question

The code for t

Answer 1

While calling an activity

Intent intent = new Intent(fromClass.this,toClass.class).putExtra("myCustomerObj",customerObj);

In toClass.java receive the activity by

Customer customerObjInToClass = getIntent().getExtras().getParcelable("myCustomerObj");

Please make sure that customer class implements parcelable

public class Customer implements Parcelable {

    private String firstName, lastName, address;
    int age;

    /* all your getter and setter methods */

    public Customer(Parcel in ) {
        readFromParcel( in );
    }

    public static final Parcelable.Creator CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator() {
        public LeadData createFromParcel(Parcel in ) {
            return new Customer( in );
        }

        public Customer[] newArray(int size) {
            return new Customer[size];
        }
    };


    @Override
    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {

        dest.writeString(firstName);
        dest.writeString(lastName);
        dest.writeString(address);
        dest.writeInt(age);
    }

    private void readFromParcel(Parcel in ) {

        firstName = in .readString();
        lastName  = in .readString();
        address   = in .readString();
        age       = in .readInt();
    }
