ClassNotFound exception when unmarshalling

The following code is the serialization part of the Category class in PackingList project. Since the category has an arraylist of items, I have to put it in Bundle. To de-serialize it, I need to retrieve items from the Bundle. To do that, I was using Bundle d = in.readBundle(). However, I received “ClassNotFound exception when unmarshalling”. I have to pass in the ClassLoader so it knows it’s for the Item.

 

@Override
public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
    dest.writeString(category);
    Bundle b = new Bundle();
    b.putParcelableArrayList("items", items);
    dest.writeBundle(b);
    
}

public static final Parcelable.Creator<Category> CREATOR = 
                new Parcelable.Creator<Category>() { 
    public Category createFromParcel(Parcel in) { 
        Category category = new Category();
        category.category = in.readString();
        Bundle b = in.readBundle(Item.class.getClassLoader());        
        category.items = b.getParcelableArrayList("items");
                    
        return category;
    }

    @Override
    public Category[] newArray(int size) {
        return new Category[size];
    }
};
