Passing an ArrayList of LatLng through intent

Question

Right now, I know how to send an ArrayList of Strings through intent by doing this to send:

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MapActivity.class);
intent.putStringArrayListExtra("list", list);
startActivity(intent);

and this to receive:

Intent i = getIntent();  
ArrayList<String> list = i.getStringArrayListExtra("list");

But I want to send an ArrayList of LatLngs, like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MapActivity.class);
intent.putLatLngArrayListExtra("listLatLng", listLatLng);
startActivity(intent);
\\pseudo code, obviously

and then:

Intent i = getIntent();  
ArrayList<String> list = i.getLatLngArrayListExtra("listLatLng");
\\pseudo code, obviously

Any ideas on how to do this? Is there any easy way or do I have to modify something? Thanks.

Answer 1

I would use android.location; It extends Parcelable and you can easily create and store the Locations in an arrayList created from lat and lon values

Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MapActivity.class);
         i.putParcelableArrayListExtra(name, value);
