How to send an object from one Android Activity to another using Intents?

Question

How can I pass an object of a custom type from one Activity to another using the putExtra() method of the class Intent?

Answer 1

Your class should implements Serializable or Parcelable.

public class MY_CLASS implements Serializable

Once done you can send an object on putExtra

intent.putExtra("KEY", MY_CLASS_instance);

startActivity(intent);

To get extras you only have to do

Intent intent = getIntent();
MY_CLASS class = (MY_CLASS) intent.getExtras().getSerializable("KEY");

If your class implements Parcelable use next

MY_CLASS class = (MY_CLASS) intent.getExtras().getParcelable("KEY");

I hope it helps :D
