Pass Object implementing Parcelable from one Activity to Another Activity

Question

I have reviewed similar questions on SO but I have not achieved the required result

I'm pulling data from the Movie Database server, I'm parsing that data using Jackson and I'm creating this object on which I need to implement parcelable as in my activity I want to add a list of these objects to the bundle in onSaveInstanceState method.

import android.os.Parcel;
import android.os.Parcelable;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class Movie implements Parcelable{

@JsonProperty("adult")
private Boolean adult;

public static final Parcelable.Creator<Movie> CREATOR = new Parcelable.ClassLoaderCreator<Movie>() {

    @Override
    public Movie createFromParcel(Parcel source) {
        return new Movie(source);
    }

    @Override
    public Movie[] newArray(int size) {
        return new Movie[size];
    }

    @Override
    public Movie createFromParcel(Parcel source, ClassLoader loader) {
        return null;
    }
};
}

I am populating a RecyclerView of these objects. When I click on a RecyclerView item I want to pass that object via an intent to another activity. However I keep getting a null pointer.

Here is my onClick where I add the parcelable to the intent

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {

    Log.i("POSITION: ", String.valueOf(getAdapterPosition()));
    Movie movie = mMovieList.get(getAdapterPosition());
    Intent detail = new Intent(mContext, MovieDetailActivity.class);
    //Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    //bundle.putParcelable("movie_object", movie);
    detail.putExtra("movie_object", movie);
    // detail.putExtras(bundle);
    mContext.startActivity(detail);
}

The commented lines are my attempts.

Here in the MovieDetailActivity is where I attempt to access the object:

Intent i = getIntent();
Movie movie = i.getParcelableExtra("movie_object");  <--Null

I had implemented serializable and that was working fine, however, I now want to use the onSavedInstanceState method which requires parcelable.

I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone see the error?

@user3676184 I don't follow? It's an object variable I require, so I'm adding it...Do you think it might be causing a problem? — DJ-DOO, Aug 28 '15 at 12:36
it's an object variable of type boolean..Could you expand on how this might be causing issues? — DJ-DOO, Aug 28 '15 at 13:01
have you used serializable..... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2736389/how-to-pass-object-from-one-activity-to-another-in-android — Pavya, Aug 31 '15 at 11:16
@user3676184 Yep, I mentioned that in the question, however, now I want to use the onSavedInstanceState method which required a parcelable array — DJ-DOO, Aug 31 '15 at 11:45

Try this : first activity pass mMovieList directly via intent:

Intent detail = new Intent(mContext, MovieDetailActivity.class);  
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("movie_object", mMovieList);
mContext.startActivity(detail);

And in second activity get movie list

List<Movie> mMovieList = new ArrayList<Movie>;
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
mMovieList = bundle.getParcelableArrayList("movie_object");

From list get your Movie object

Or else try this link https://stackoverflow.com/a/10114932/5202007

You can pass your model or mMovieList here

Intent detail = new Intent(mContext, MovieDetailActivity.class);  
intent.putParcelableArrayListExtra("movie_object", mMovieList);
startActivity(detail);

And on another activity you can get it like this

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
ArrayList<mMovieList> mList=bundle.getParcelableArrayList("movie_object");
