Shortcuts for Nougat version

Question

I'm catching this fatal exception when I try to pass an Serializable inside an Intent bundle, and I think is related with the nougat shortcuts that I'm trying to implement. here the exception:

CtaAccountSectionModel.class

public class CtaAccountSectionModel extends CtaModel implements Serializable         {
}

CtaModel.class

@JsonTypeInfo(
            use = JsonTypeInfo.Id.NAME,
            include = JsonTypeInfo.As.PROPERTY,
            defaultImpl = CtaDefaultModel.class,
            property = "action", visible = true)
    @JsonSubTypes({
            @JsonSubTypes.Type(value = CtaProductPageModel.class, name = CtaActionModel.ACTION_PRODUCT_PAGE))})


public class CtaModel implements Serializable {
   private String action;
   private String name;
    public String getAction() {
        return action;
    }

    public void setAction(String action) {
        this.action = action;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

Here the code here I created the intent:

public ShortcutBackStackBuilder getHistoryWithBackStack(String section) {
    Intent intent = IntentAppFactory.createMainActivityFromShortcut(mContext).putExtra(IntentExtraConstants.EXTRA_SHORTCUT_ID, new CtaAccountSectionModel(section))
        .setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);

        mIntentLinkedList.add(intent);
        return this;
}

Anyone knows if it's not allowed to pass a Serializable in the nougat shortcuts?

Answer 1

The PersistableBundle class checks it's content with the following method:

public static boolean isValidType(Object value) {
    return (value instanceof Integer) || (value instanceof Long) ||
            (value instanceof Double) || (value instanceof String) ||
            (value instanceof int[]) || (value instanceof long[]) ||
            (value instanceof double[]) || (value instanceof String[]) ||
            (value instanceof PersistableBundle) || (value == null) ||
            (value instanceof Boolean) || (value instanceof boolean[]);
}

So unfortunately only these classes can be bundled into the Intent for Shortcuts.
