Parcel

class Parcel
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.os.Parcel

Container for a message (data and object references) that can be sent through an IBinder. A Parcel can contain both flattened data that will be unflattened on the other side of the IPC (using the various methods here for writing specific types, or the general Parcelable interface), and references to live IBinder objects that will result in the other side receiving a proxy IBinder connected with the original IBinder in the Parcel.

Parcel is not a general-purpose serialization mechanism. This class (and the corresponding Parcelable API for placing arbitrary objects into a Parcel) is designed as a high-performance IPC transport. As such, it is not appropriate to place any Parcel data in to persistent storage: changes in the underlying implementation of any of the data in the Parcel can render older data unreadable.

The bulk of the Parcel API revolves around reading and writing data of various types. There are six major classes of such functions available.

Primitives

The most basic data functions are for writing and reading primitive data types: writeByte, readByte, writeDouble, readDouble, writeFloat, readFloat, writeInt, readInt, writeLong, readLong, writeString, readString. Most other data operations are built on top of these. The given data is written and read using the endianess of the host CPU.

Primitive Arrays

There are a variety of methods for reading and writing raw arrays of primitive objects, which generally result in writing a 4-byte length followed by the primitive data items. The methods for reading can either read the data into an existing array, or create and return a new array. These available types are:

Parcelables

The Parcelable protocol provides an extremely efficient (but low-level) protocol for objects to write and read themselves from Parcels. You can use the direct methods writeParcelable(android.os.Parcelable,int) and readParcelable(java.lang.ClassLoader) or writeParcelableArray and readParcelableArray(java.lang.ClassLoader) to write or read. These methods write both the class type and its data to the Parcel, allowing that class to be reconstructed from the appropriate class loader when later reading.

There are also some methods that provide a more efficient way to work with Parcelables: writeTypedObject, writeTypedArray, #writeTypedList, readTypedObject, createTypedArray and createTypedArrayList. These methods do not write the class information of the original object: instead, the caller of the read function must know what type to expect and pass in the appropriate Parcelable.Creator instead to properly construct the new object and read its data. (To more efficient write and read a single Parcelable object that is not null, you can directly call Parcelable.writeToParcel and Parcelable.Creator.createFromParcel yourself.)

Bundles

A special type-safe container, called Bundle, is available for key/value maps of heterogeneous values. This has many optimizations for improved performance when reading and writing data, and its type-safe API avoids difficult to debug type errors when finally marshalling the data contents into a Parcel. The methods to use are writeBundle(android.os.Bundle), readBundle(), and readBundle(java.lang.ClassLoader).

Active Objects

An unusual feature of Parcel is the ability to read and write active objects. For these objects the actual contents of the object is not written, rather a special token referencing the object is written. When reading the object back from the Parcel, you do not get a new instance of the object, but rather a handle that operates on the exact same object that was originally written. There are two forms of active objects available.

Binder objects are a core facility of Android's general cross-process communication system. The IBinder interface describes an abstract protocol with a Binder object. Any such interface can be written in to a Parcel, and upon reading you will receive either the original object implementing that interface or a special proxy implementation that communicates calls back to the original object. The methods to use are writeStrongBinder(android.os.IBinder), writeStrongInterface(android.os.IInterface), readStrongBinder(), writeBinderArray(android.os.IBinder[]), readBinderArray(android.os.IBinder[]), createBinderArray(), #writeInterfaceArray(T[]), #readInterfaceArray(T[],java.util.function.Function), createInterfaceArray(java.util.function.IntFunction,java.util.function.Function), writeBinderList(java.util.List), readBinderList(java.util.List), createBinderArrayList(), writeInterfaceList(java.util.List), readInterfaceList(java.util.List,java.util.function.Function), createInterfaceArrayList(java.util.function.Function).

FileDescriptor objects, representing raw Linux file descriptor identifiers, can be written and ParcelFileDescriptor objects returned to operate on the original file descriptor. The returned file descriptor is a dup of the original file descriptor: the object and fd is different, but operating on the same underlying file stream, with the same position, etc. The methods to use are writeFileDescriptor(java.io.FileDescriptor), readFileDescriptor().

Parcelable Containers

A final class of methods are for writing and reading standard Java containers of arbitrary types. These all revolve around the writeValue(java.lang.Object) and readValue(java.lang.ClassLoader) methods which define the types of objects allowed. The container methods are writeArray(java.lang.Object[]), readArray(java.lang.ClassLoader), writeList(java.util.List), readList(java.util.List,java.lang.ClassLoader), readArrayList(java.lang.ClassLoader), writeMap(java.util.Map), readMap(java.util.Map,java.lang.ClassLoader), writeSparseArray(android.util.SparseArray), readSparseArray(java.lang.ClassLoader).

Restricted Parcelable Containers

A final class of methods are for reading standard Java containers of restricted types. These methods replace methods for reading containers of arbitrary types from previous section starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. The pairing writing methods are still the same from previous section. These methods accepts additional clazz parameters as the required types. The Restricted Parcelable container methods are readArray(java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class), readList(java.util.List,java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class), readArrayList(java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class), readMap(java.util.Map,java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class,java.lang.Class), readSparseArray(java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class).

    Report whether the parcel contains any marshalled file descriptors in the range defined by offset and length.

    Parameters
    offset Int: The offset from which the range starts. Should be between 0 and dataSize().
    length Int: The length of the range. Should be between 0 and dataSize() - offset.

    marshall

    Added in API level 1
    fun marshall(): ByteArray!

    Returns the raw bytes of the parcel.

    The data you retrieve here must not be placed in any kind of persistent storage (on local disk, across a network, etc). For that, you should use standard serialization or another kind of general serialization mechanism. The Parcel marshalled representation is highly optimized for local IPC, and as such does not attempt to maintain compatibility with data created in different versions of the platform.

    obtain

    Added in API level 1
    static fun obtain(): Parcel

    Retrieve a new Parcel object from the pool.

    Return
    Parcel This value cannot be null.

    obtain

    Added in API level 33
    static fun obtain(binder: IBinder): Parcel

    Retrieve a new Parcel object from the pool for use with a specific binder. Associate this parcel with a binder object. This marks the parcel as being prepared for a transaction on this specific binder object. Based on this, the format of the wire binder protocol may change. For future compatibility, it is recommended to use this for all Parcels.

    Parameters
    binder IBinder: This value cannot be null.
    Return
    Parcel This value cannot be null.

    readArray

    Added in API level 1
    Deprecated in API level 33
    fun readArray(loader: ClassLoader?): Array<Any!>?

    Deprecated: Use the type-safer version readArray(java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class) starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. Also consider changing the format to use createTypedArray(android.os.Parcelable.Creator) if possible (eg. if the items' class is final) since this is also more performant. Note that changing to the latter also requires changing the writes.

    Read and return a new Object array from the parcel at the current dataPosition(). Returns null if the previously written array was null. The given class loader will be used to load any enclosed Parcelables.

    Parameters
    loader ClassLoader?: This value may be null.

    readArray

    Added in API level 33
    fun <T : Any!> readArray(
        loader: ClassLoader?, 
        clazz: Class<T>
    ): Array<T>?

    Same as readArray(java.lang.ClassLoader) but accepts clazz parameter as the type required for each item.

    Warning: if the list contains items implementing the Parcelable interface, the class that implements Parcelable has to be the immediately enclosing class of the runtime type of its CREATOR field (that is, Class.getEnclosingClass() has to return the parcelable implementing class), otherwise this method might throw an exception. If the Parcelable class does not enclose the CREATOR, use the deprecated readArray(java.lang.ClassLoader) instead.

    Parameters
    loader ClassLoader?: This value may be null.
    clazz Class<T>: This value cannot be null.
    Return
    Array<T>? This value may be null.
    Exceptions
    android.os.BadParcelableException Throws BadParcelableException if the item to be deserialized is not an instance of that class or any of its children classes or there was an error trying to instantiate an element.

    fun <T : Any!> readSparseArray(loader: ClassLoader?): SparseArray<T>?

    Deprecated: Use the type-safer version readSparseArray(java.lang.ClassLoader,java.lang.Class) starting from Android Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU. Also consider changing the format to use createTypedSparseArray(android.os.Parcelable.Creator) if possible (eg. if the items' class is final) since this is also more performant. Note that changing to the latter also requires changing the writes.

    Read and return a new SparseArray object from the parcel at the current dataPosition(). Returns null if the previously written list object was null. The given class loader will be used to load any enclosed Parcelables.

    Parameters
    loader ClassLoader?: This value may be null.

    readSparseArray

    Added in API level 33
    fun <T : Any!> readSparseArray(
        loader: ClassLoader?, 
        clazz: Class<out T>
    ): SparseArray<T>?

    Same as readSparseArray(java.lang.ClassLoader) but accepts clazz parameter as the type required for each item.

    Warning: if the list contains items implementing the Parcelable interface, the class that implements Parcelable has to be the immediately enclosing class of the runtime type of its CREATOR field (that is, Class.getEnclosingClass() has to return the parcelable implementing class), otherwise this method might throw an exception. If the Parcelable class does not enclose the CREATOR, use the deprecated readSparseArray(java.lang.ClassLoader) instead.

    Parameters
    loader ClassLoader?: This value may be null.
    clazz Class<out T>: This value cannot be null.
    Return
    SparseArray<T>? This value may be null.
    Exceptions
    android.os.BadParcelableException Throws BadParcelableException if the item to be deserialized is not an instance of that class or any of its children classes or there was an error trying to instantiate an element.

      writeInterfaceToken

      Added in API level 1
      fun writeInterfaceToken(interfaceName: String): Unit

      Store or read an IBinder interface token in the parcel at the current dataPosition. This is used to validate that the marshalled transaction is intended for the target interface. This is typically written at the beginning of transactions as a header.

          parcelableFlags: Int
      ): Unit

      Write a heterogeneous array of Parcelable objects into the Parcel. Each object in the array is written along with its class name, so that the correct class can later be instantiated. As a result, this has significantly more overhead than writeTypedArray, but will correctly handle an array containing more than one type of object.

      Parameters
      value Array<T>?: The array of objects to be written. This value may be null.
      parcelableFlags Int: Contextual flags as per Parcelable.writeToParcel().

        Added in API level 1
        fun writeSerializable(s: Serializable?): Unit

        Write a generic serializable object in to a Parcel. It is strongly recommended that this method be avoided, since the serialization overhead is extremely large, and this approach will be much slower than using the other approaches to writing data in to a Parcel.

        writeTypedSparseArray

        Added in API level 29
        fun <T : Parcelable!> writeTypedSparseArray(
            val: SparseArray<T>?, 
            parcelableFlags: Int
        ): Unit

        Flatten a SparseArray containing a particular object type into the parcel at the current dataPosition() and growing dataCapacity() if needed. The type of the objects in the array must be one that implements Parcelable. Unlike the generic writeSparseArray(android.util.SparseArray) method, however, only the raw data of the objects is written and not their type, so you must use the corresponding createTypedSparseArray(android.os.Parcelable.Creator).

        Parameters
        val SparseArray<T>?: The list of objects to be written. This value may be null.
        parcelableFlags Int: The parcelable flags to use.

        writeValue

        Added in API level 1
        fun writeValue(v: Any?): Unit

        Flatten a generic object in to a parcel. The given Object value may currently be one of the following types:

        • null
        • String
        • Byte
        • Short
        • Integer
        • Long
        • Float
        • Double
        • Boolean
        • String[]
        • boolean[]
        • byte[]
        • int[]
        • long[]
        • Object[] (supporting objects of the same type defined here).
        • Bundle
        • Map (as supported by writeMap).
        • Any object that implements the Parcelable protocol.
        • Parcelable[]
        • CharSequence (as supported by TextUtils.writeToParcel).
        • List (as supported by writeList).
        • SparseArray (as supported by writeSparseArray(android.util.SparseArray)).
        • IBinder
        • Any object that implements Serializable (but see writeSerializable for caveats). Note that all of the previous types have relatively efficient implementations for writing to a Parcel; having to rely on the generic serialization approach is much less efficient and should be avoided whenever possible.

        Parcelable objects are written with Parcelable.writeToParcel using contextual flags of 0. When serializing objects containing ParcelFileDescriptors, this may result in file descriptor leaks when they are returned from Binder calls (where Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE should be used).

        Parameters
        v Any?: This value may be null.
