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

By far the easiest way IMHO to parcel objects. You just add an annotation tag above the object you wish to make parcelable.

An example from the library is below https://github.com/johncarl81/parceler

@Parcel
public class Example {
    String name;
    int age;

    public Example(){ /*Required empty bean constructor*/ }

    public Example(int age, String name) {
        this.age = age;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() { return name; }

    public int getAge() { return age; }
}
