Question

I have this ConstantData class which holds my JSON indexes, I need to pass them between activities with extras. But before that, I have to implement Parcelable to the objects of this class first.

My question is, how should I declare the object within my class here and put every object inside a variable?

I’m a newbie and I’m totally clueless right now. Thank you. Feel free to modify my code below.

ConstantData.java

public class ConstantData{

       public static String project_title = "project title";
       public static String organization_title = "organization title";
       public static String keyword = "keyword";
       public static String short_code = "short code";
       public static String project_description = "description";
       public static String smallImageUrl = "smallImageUrl";
       public static String bigImageUrl = "bigImageUrl";
       public static String price= "price";
       public static String country= "country";



        public static ArrayList<Project> projectsList = new ArrayList<Project>();


        public int describeContents() {
            return 0;
        }

        public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
            out.writeString(project_title);
            out.writeString(organization_title);
            out.writeString(keyword);
            out.writeString(short_code);
            out.writeString(project_description);
            out.writeString(smallImageUrl);
            out.writeString(bigImageUrl);
            out.writeString(price);
            out.writeString(country);
        }

        public static final Parcelable.Creator<ConstantData> CREATOR
                = new Parcelable.Creator<ConstantData>() {
            public ConstantData createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
                return new ConstantData(in);
            }

            public ConstantData[] newArray(int size) {
                return new ConstantData[size];
            }
        };

        private ConstantData(Parcel in) {
            project_title = in.readString();
            organization_title = in.readString();
            keyword = in.readString();
            short_code = in.readString();
            project_description = in.readString();
            smallImageUrl = in.readString();
            bigImageUrl = in.readString();
            price = in.readString();
            country = in.readString();
        }
    }

In case my question is not clear enough, you can look up this question: How to send an object from one Android Activity to another using Intents?

There he wrote myParcelableObject, I just don’t know how to make the parcelable object.

EDIT
Project.java

public class Project {

    public String project_title;
    public String organization_title;
    public String keyword;
    public String short_code;
    public String project_description;
    public String smallImageUrl;
    public String bigImageUrl;
    public String price;
    public String country;
 }

You need to implement the Parcelable interface

public class ConstantData implements Parcelable {

    public void writeToParcel(Parcel out, int flags) {
        out.writeString(project_title);
    ....
        out.writeString(country);
        out.writeList(projectsList); // <<--
    }

    private ConstantData(Parcel in) {
        project_title = in.readString();
        ....
        country = in.readString();
        projectsList = in.readList();

I think for the writing of the projectsList to work, the Project class also needs to implement Parcelable.

See e.g. this class for an example.
