Android Class Parcelable with ArrayList

If you need to pass an ArrayList between activities, then I'd go with implementing Parcelable also, as there is no other way around I guess.However I don't think you will need that much of getters and setters. Here is your Question class which implements Parcelable:

public class Question implements Parcelable {    public String id;    public String text;    public String image;    public ArrayList<Choice> choices;    /**     * Constructs a Question from values     */    public Question (String id, String text, String image, ArrayList<Choice> choices) {        this.id = id;        this.text = text;        this.image = image;        this.choices = choices;    }    /**     * Constructs a Question from a Parcel     * @param parcel Source Parcel     */    public Question (Parcel parcel) {        this.id = parcel.readString();        this.text = parcel.readString();        this.image = parcel.readString();        this.choices = parcel.readArrayList(null);    }    @Override    public int describeContents() {        return 0;    }    // Required method to write to Parcel    @Override    public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {        dest.writeString(id);        dest.writeString(text);        dest.writeString(image);        dest.writeList(choices);    }    // Method to recreate a Question from a Parcel    public static Creator<Question> CREATOR = new Creator<Question>() {        @Override        public Question createFromParcel(Parcel source) {            return new Question(source);        }        @Override        public Question[] newArray(int size) {            return new Question[size];        }    };}

You have it almost, but not quite, right. The Question class looks nearly correctly Parcelable. The only thing that won't work is parcelling the array of Choices.

There are two ways that you could do it:

1. Make Choices Parcelable. You will have to add all the required methods, and the CREATOR. Because Android knows how to parcel ArrayLists of Parcelables, this will work.
2. Make parceling the Array of Choices part of parcelling the Question. To do this, you'd probably push the size of the array into the Parcel, and then loop over the Choices, pushing their values. On the other end, you'd read the count first, and then read the values for each Choice, creating each and pushing it into the new Question.

Use:

in.createTypedArrayList(Product.CREATOR)

In the constructor that takes a Parable object as a param.

In the writeToParcel method use dest.writeTypedList(product);
