Class-cast Exception when passing an ArrayList-object between two Activities

Question

I am trying to send an ArrayListobject from Activity A to Activity B but when I am trying to start Activity B a Class-Exception is Thrown

here is my Syntax for sending and receiving. The question is - how could I cast from object[] to string[]?

Or if its not possible - any other solutions?

ACTIVITY A

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, CalculationsActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("strObj2D", stringObjects2D);
startActivity(intent);

activity B

private ArrayList <String[][]> stringObjects2D = new ArrayList <String[][]> () ; 
stringObjects2D = (ArrayList<String[][]>) getIntent().getParcelableExtra("strObj2D");

// the size of the arraylist is printed before the crash - so the data seems to be   there, that is 3 2D-arrays. 
System.out.println("size = " + stringObjects2D.size());

// its here the crash comes, trying to get the second listitem in the arraylist
String[] string =  (String[]) stringObjects2D.get(0)[1];

EDIT: and if I change the to getParcelableExtra I get a NullPointerException instead

Answer 1

在活动A上使用putStringArrayListExtra方法放置其他信息，在活动B上使用getStringArrayListExtra方法进行检索。

Answer 2

尝试使用getIntent().getParcelableArrayListExtra("strObj2D")而不是getIntent().getParcelableExtra("strObj2D")

Answer 3

You need to pass ArrayList <String[][]> as Serializable . ArrayList implements Serializable so you can just use putExtra(...) method . And you should just recieve it like this

ArrayList<String[][]> list = (ArrayList<String[][]>) getSerializableExtra("strObj2D");
