```
public static final Creator CREATOR
```
Constructs a [MessagePdu](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/carrier/MessagePdu) from a [Parcel](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcel).
## Public constructors
### MessagePdu
Added in [API level 22](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public MessagePdu (List pduList)
```
Constructs a MessagePdu with the list of message PDUs.
| Parameters ||
|-----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|

|
## Public methods
### describeContents
Added in [API level 22](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public int describeContents ()
```
Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable
instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will
include a file descriptor in the output of [writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel,%20int)),
the return value of this method must include the
[CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR) bit.
| Returns ||
|-------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `int` | a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either `0` or [CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR)
|
### getPdus
Added in [API level 22](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public List getPdus ()
```
Returns the contents of a possibly multi-part SMS.
| Returns ||
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| [List](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/List)`` | the list of PDUs This value cannot be `null`.
|
### writeToParcel
Added in [API level 22](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
```
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest,
int flags)
```
Flatten this object in to a Parcel.
| Parameters ||
|---------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `dest` | `Parcel`: The Parcel in which the object should be written. This value cannot be `null`.
|
| `flags` | `int`: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or [Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE). Value is either `0` or a combination of [Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Parcelable#PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE), and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
