It is not a place holder. It is actual data holder and Location is left alone. You do the following: 1. Define LocationDTO that implements Serializable, which will store all data that you need from Location. 2. When you are about to persist your Location to storage, you populate that DTO with the latest values from Location. 3. You serialize DTO and persist resulting stream. <application is OFF here> 4. Upon re-launch of your application, you read the serialized DTO from the storage, therefore de-serializing the DTO. 5. Create brand new Location (Location loc = new Location()) and populate all its properties from deserialized DTO. As you can see, you have not serialized or deserialized Location class (or any of its subclasses) at all, therefore avoiding all the troubles that you have with it. -- Daniel Drozdzewski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
