I have a problem when I use GSON.

First off I’m trying to save an Object inside SharedPreferences with the use of GSON, whenever I switch activities. Then my plan was to get that object again once I get back to the activity so that I can repopulate the captured data on that page. But, my problem is that an error occurs on my onPause method. This error has already been bugging me for 2 days, I hope you guys can help. I seriously need it.

Here is my onPause and onResume code:

    @Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    try {
        SharedPreferences appSharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getApplicationContext());
        Editor prefsEditor = appSharedPrefs.edit();

        activityDataContainer = convertDataContainers(); //This just gets the data from the page

        prefsEditor.putInt("objectLength", activityDataContainer.size());
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        for(int x = 0; x < activityDataContainer.size(); x++){
            ConnectionObject temp = activityDataContainer.get(x);
            String json = gson.toJson(temp);
            prefsEditor.putString("connectionData"+x, json);
        }

        prefsEditor.commit();
        Toast.makeText(this, "Object stored in SharedPreferences", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Toast.makeText(this, ""+e, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

};

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    //===== Using SharedPreferences
    SharedPreferences appSharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this.getApplicationContext());
    if(appSharedPrefs.contains("objectLength")){

        int length = appSharedPrefs.getInt("objectLength", 0);
        activityDataContainer = new ArrayList<ConnectionObject>();
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        for(int x = 0; x < length; x++){
            String json = appSharedPrefs.getString("connectionData"+x, "");
            ConnectionObject object = gson.fromJson(json, ConnectionObject.class);
            activityDataContainer.add(object);
        }

        revertDataContainers(activityDataContainer); //Repopulates the data
        Toast.makeText(this, "Object retrieved in SharedPreferences", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

Here is the Error Log I get:

All help will be greatly appreciated. Much thanks in advance.

**EDIT
**ConnectionObject is a simple object that stores these values:

private boolean toggleButtonValue;
private int sdGenValue;
private int sdSpecValue;
private int sdCountValue;
private String sdLengthValue;
private int sdCondValue;
private int sdOwnValue;
private String sdDateValue;
private String mLtValue;
private String mLgValue;
private String mAcValue;
private int mPhotoValue;
private List<MeterObject> meterContainer;

    I solved it, though I think its just a loop around idea. I just split my object into 2 parts. The first being the String and int values, and the second one being the list. I stored both parts separately then combine them again on resume. Thanks for the ideas guys. It was a lot of help.
