Simple GSON Parceling for Android
This Android library can be used to quickly add the parceling mechanism to a model object. It is not made for speed, but rather for simplicity.
To use GSON for parceling an Object, follow this example:
We have the Person class:
public class Person {
String name;
String occupation;
int age;
}First, extend GsonParcelable:
public class Person extends GsonParcelable {
String name;
String occupation;
int age;
}Next, create the Gson instance you want to use. This can be the default Gson for simple models, but more complex models may require more customized Gson instances:
public class Person extends GsonParcelable {
String name;
String occupation;
int age;
static Gson sGson = new Gson();
}Finally, create the CREATOR field and implement the required methods:
public class Person extends GsonParcelable {
String name;
String occupation;
int age;
static Gson sGson = new Gson();
public static final GsonCreator<Person> CREATOR = new GsonCreator<Person>() {
@Override
public Gson getGson() {
return sGson;
}
};
@Override
public GsonCreator getCREATOR() {
return CREATOR;
}
}That's it! Everything else is handled for you.
The easiest way to include this in your project currently is to add as a git submodule in your project's root directory (may wish to fork it), and add a reference in the gradle.settings file:
include ':app', ':gson_parcelable'
Then re-sync your gradle files.
