How to pass ArrayList of Objects from one to another activity using Intent in android?

android, android-intent, parcelable

Solution

It works well,

public class Question implements Serializable {
    private int[] operands;
    private int[] choices;
    private int userAnswerIndex;

   public Question(int[] operands, int[] choices) {
       this.operands = operands;
       this.choices = choices;
       this.userAnswerIndex = -1;
   }

   public int[] getChoices() {
       return choices;
   }

   public void setChoices(int[] choices) {
       this.choices = choices;
   }

   public int[] getOperands() {
       return operands;
   }

   public void setOperands(int[] operands) {
       this.operands = operands;
   }

   public int getUserAnswerIndex() {
       return userAnswerIndex;
   }

   public void setUserAnswerIndex(int userAnswerIndex) {
       this.userAnswerIndex = userAnswerIndex;
   }

   public int getAnswer() {
       int answer = 0;
       for (int operand : operands) {
           answer += operand;
       }
       return answer;
   }

   public boolean isCorrect() {
       return getAnswer() == choices[this.userAnswerIndex];
   }

   public boolean hasAnswered() {
       return userAnswerIndex != -1;
   }

   @Override
   public String toString() {
       StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

       // Question
       builder.append("Question: ");
       for(int operand : operands) {
           builder.append(String.format("%d ", operand));
       }
       builder.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));

       // Choices
       int answer = getAnswer();
       for (int choice : choices) {
           if (choice == answer) {
               builder.append(String.format("%d (A) ", choice));
           } else {
               builder.append(String.format("%d ", choice));
           }
       }
       return builder.toString();
     }
  }

In your Source Activity, use this :

  List<Question> mQuestionList = new ArrayList<Question>;
  mQuestionsList = QuestionBank.getQuestions();
  mQuestionList.add(new Question(ops1, choices1));

  Intent intent = new Intent(SourceActivity.this, TargetActivity.class);
  intent.putExtra("QuestionListExtra", ArrayList<Question>mQuestionList);

In your Target Activity, use this :

  List<Question> questions = new ArrayList<Question>();
  questions = (ArrayList<Question>)getIntent().getSerializableExtra("QuestionListExtra");
