OK. Thanks for the answer. The way you've explained, to put the object in the extras, is the way I actually do. But the extras aren't able to store any object at the normal way. I take the indirection through a HashMap. Like you'll see in the Code below, the concerning object is a PackageInfo.
=== CODE -> Calling Activity === ... Intent i = new Intent(CallingActivity.this, RetrievingActivity.class); HashMap<String, PackageInfo> map = new HashMap<String, PackageInfo>(); map.put("MyPackageInfo", pi); i.putExtra("map", map); startActivity(i); ... === END === === CODE -> Recieving Activity === ... Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras(); HashMap<String, PackageInfo> map = (HashMap<String, PackageInfo>) extras.get("map"); PackageInfo pInfo = map.get("MyPackageInfo"); ... === END === This seems to be circumstantial, isn't it? Maybe I'm wrong with my solution but in the documentation I saw there is a way to put a serializable object to the extras. So I put the PackageInfo into the HashMap (which is serializable) and the HashMap to the extras. === QUOTE -> Andrew Stadler === ...Remember that Intent data must be parcelable so that it can be transported between processes. === END === As per documentation, PackageInfo extends Parcelable. That means I can solve my problem by calling "myIntent.putExtra("myIntent", myPackageInfo);" and inversely "myPackageInfo = myIntent.getExtra("myIntent);" ...Wait... OK, this is tested and seems to work. Thank you very much for your help. I'm not new to development, but I'm new to Java and to android too.
