Problem serializing Drawable

Question

I\'ve got a singe object which has three fields: two strings and a Drawable

public class MyObject implements Serializable {

    private static fina         


        

Answer 1

java.io.NotSerializableException: android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable

This message seems pretty clear - the specific drawable instance in the photo field is a BitmapDrawable, which wasn't designed to be serialized. Your class cannot be serialized without dealing with the non-serializable field.

If you can ensure your class will always have a BitmapDrawable or a Bitmap, you can see this code for an example of how to handle a Bitmap field:
